Description
February 2019. Trial trenching.
Located on the southwestern edge of the post-medieval Brickhouse Farm and close to Iron Age and Roman remains, an 'L-shaped' evaluation trench recorded a modern pit, post-medieval drainage ditch and a spread of clayey silt containing pebbles, gravel and peg-tile which could be a trackway associated with Brickhouse Farm but is perhaps more likely to represent the clearance of the drainage ditch. <1>
