Description
September 2013. Geophysical survey and trial trenching.
In the Southern part of the site a series of ditches representing old field boundaries were present. None of these produced any dating evidence. In places these were
observed as being cut from the base of the topsoil through the subsoil, so are likely to be post-medieval in date. <1>
