October 2021. Trial trenching. Trial trenching recorded several undated post holes. Two linears were also identified across the site, one of which, in Trench 3, is of unknown date and origin. In Trench 4, a gully which has been heavily disturbed by animal burrowing contained fragments of post-medieval pottery. Two substantial pits were recorded in Trench 6, with maximum lengths of 1.16m and 0.84m. Both pits were lined with thick charcoal lenses, which following environmental assessment were determined to be burnt oak, though no dateable material was identified. <1>
