Summary

A watching brief in 2010 recorded three undated ditches of varying size and definition. The best defined of the three ditches aligned convincingly with a plotted cropmark ditch that appeared to form one side of a possible trackway in combination with a second ditch to the north (EHER 7992).

Description

November-December 2010. Watching brief. Three undated ditches of varying size and definition, were located in the ditch diversion to the north of the brook. The best defined of the three ditches aligned convincingly with a plotted cropmark ditch that appeared to form one side of a possible trackway in combination with a second ditch to the north (EHER 7992). Although there was no obvious sign of a similar ditch forming the northern side of the trackway it is likely that this role was filled by a second investigated ditch, which was considerably wider and shallower. The third of the three ditches was smaller and poorly defined and was possibly of natural origin. <1>
