Undated pits and ditches, Hall Road (EHER 82103)

Trial trenching and archaeological excavation in 2006 recorded a considerable number of features which produced no dating evidence and which could not be phased.

August 2006. Trial trenching. The features in Trenches 6A (two pits), Trench 7 (a ditch), Trench 21A (a ditch and a post hole), and Trench 22 (two ditches) were all undated and contained no finds. Trenches 21A and Trench 22 were the nearest to Trench 24, and the features may represent periphery activity to that recorded by EHER 48603. <1> October 2006. Archaeological excavation. One hundred and sixty seven features contained no dateable material and could not be securely phased through interrelationships with dated features. The majority were located within the Iron Age double-ditched enclosure on the western side of the site and could feasibly be contemporary with the enclosure. However, these undated features could equally belong to the Anglo-Saxon period, as a large number of Anglo-Saxon features were also located within the enclosure. A series of undated ditches were also identified across the site. <2> See also <3> <4>.
