Description
2008 to 2011. Strip, map and sample.
A ditch was excavated and recorded within the north-western extent of the strip widening area. This did not produce any artefacts although it corresponds to a field boundary on the OS first edition map. The ditch contained five struck flints, but these are likely to be residual.
No other archaeological deposits were encountered. <1> - <4>
