Description
July 2023. Trial trenching.
Across Trenches 202–205, two ditches, two pits and a gully were also identified. Both ditches and the gully were aligned SE-NW; they had average widths of 0.8m and depths of 0.16m. The gully contained a fragment of post-medieval ceramic building material (8g) and a small piece of slag (4g) was recovered from ditch 20203. The linear features may represent a shifting boundary.
