Undated ditch, The Old Rectory, Church Hill (EHER 47603)

Trial trenching in 2008 recorded a single, heavily truncated undated ditch.

October 2008. Trial trenching. In the first trench was a single, heavily truncated, NW-SE orientated ditch which ran across the western part of the trench, although the single greenish grey silt clay fill produced no finds. The second trench was located within the footprint of a former cottage and observation of the former footings clearly demonstrated that the area had been extensively terraced in the 19th century, completely removing any earlier deposits remains. It appears that any archaeological remains which may have been present have been very badly truncated by 19th century landscaping/development connected with the construction of the Old Rectory and associated gardens/ outbuildings. <1> <2>
