Description
July-August 2013. Watching brief.
A watching brief along the Middlewick Cable Route recorded a ditch which was particularly large, with a width of 4.3m and a similar to depth to most of the other ditches at 0.7m. It contained three fills, generally grey brown silty clay deposits with few inclusions. The only find was a sherd of English stoneware from a later 19th or early 20th century ink or mineral water bottle that was collected from the upper fill. The ditch correlates both with known cropmarks (perhaps EHER 19347) and with a boundary shown on historic mapping. <1>
