Description
July-August 2013. Watching brief.
A probable post-medieval field ditch was identified beneath the topsoil strip to the North of Muscle Bridge. The ditch lay on a NW-SE alignment and was observed as being at least 4m long and 1.4m wide with a dark grey silty clay fill and an old horseshoe lying on the top, which was not kept. The SW side was disturbed, probably from a former hedgeline. The feature was identified in plan but not excavated. <1>
