Description
Excavation, 2022
There were seven post-medieval or modern features, all but one of which were ditches or gullies. The most northerly ditch lies parallel to the gully furthest south, F5. The remaining four ditches and gullies are perpendicular and confined to the area between ditch F12 and gully F5. These ditches and gullies appear to represent a post-medieval/modern field system.
Post-medieval/modern pottery finds were sparse, with the largest assemblage only containing three sherds and the whole site only producing a total of eight sherds. CBM assemblages were also fairly sparse.
