A post-medieval former field boundary ditch extended across the excavation area west of the main concentration of Roman ditches. This corresponds to a field boundary depicted on late 19th century OS maps.
In the post-medieval period, the excavation area was crossed on N-S and E-W alignments by ditches that corresponded with boundaries recorded on late 19th century Ordnance Survey mapping and which produced modern artefacts that indicated that they had been backfilled during the late 20th century. <1> - <4>
