Description
May 1991. Trial trenching.
Trench V contained what was probably part of a post-mediaeval trackway running east-west across the trench. Some 3.8-4m. Wide, it consisted solely of a disturbed and muddy silt and gravel spread containing frequent fragments of brick and tile. It should be noted that the natural changed from gravel north of the track to a clean sandy silt south of it. The only other feature was a band of north-south dark loamy gravel containing tile pieces, probably a post-mediaeval gully. <1>
