Description
March 1999. Trial trenching.
Trench F contained a small circular feature. No finds were recovered from the excavation of this cut and its function was not determined.
Two small, probable post holes were located in Trench J. One was circular in shape with a diameter of 260mm and depth of 100mm. Unfortunately, it proved impossible to date this feature as no artefacts were recovered from its excavation. The other was a sub-rectangular shape with fairly steep sides and a concave base. It had a maximum diameter of 470mm. and depth of 240mm. One sherd of transfer-printed china and three fragments of brick were found in this feature which is undoubtedly of post-medieval origin. <1>
