Description
1989 to 1990. Fieldwalking and watching brief.
The almost total lack of finds from this site coupled with the nature of the features excavated make it extremely difficult to characterise the site. It is tentatively suggested that the site may be of post-medieval date and possibly connected with some agricultural activity. <1>
