Summary
Two postholes in the centre of Trench 1 were sub-circular in plan and yielded no finds. Both are undated. A single ditch was present in the SW end of Trench 4 on and E-W orientation. It probably represents a former boundary plot, and possibly one associated with a building that is visible in the Southern area of the site on the 1st edition OS map.
