Type and Period
Description
April to May 2024. Trial trenching.
None of the identified features contained enough datable material to provide adequate dating based on the artefactual evidence alone. However, two ditches correspond directly with a east-northeast to west-southwest aligned boundary ditch shown on the 1874 Ordnance Survey (OS) map. None of the other ditches correspond to known historic field boundaries, but they likely represent land management features. <1>
