Description
January-June 2011. Watching brief.
A shallow linear feature, 4.75m in length, which cut through one of the Roman pits and ditch (see EHER 48551) and terminated to its north. The pottery from this linear was predominantly medieval with a mix of early Roman intrusive from the cutting of the pits. Additional finds of coal cinder and flint within the termini of this ditch further attests to its later origin. <1>
