Undated ditches, pits and gullies, Cobbs Farm (EHER 83529)

Trial trenching in 2010 recorded three ring ditches, 38 ditches or gullies, and 36 pits and post holes, of which some were undated.

February-March 2010. Trial trenching. The evaluation revealed three ring ditches (in Trench 7, 27 and 35), 38 ditches or gullies, 36 pits and postholes and an irregular depression. Finds were generally sparse and few features were dated. Pit F1032 (Tr.7) contained burnt flint, and the feature may be prehistoric. Two concentrations of features were identified. Firstly with Trenches 1, 3, 4, 5 & 7, and secondly Trenches 22, 28, 32 & 33. The features principally comprised gullies, pits and post holes. Isolated, or sparsely distributed, features comprising gullies, pits and post holes were recorded in the eastern half of the site (Trs. 26 - 27, 34 - 37, 44, 47, 50 & 55). Trench 15 on the western side of the site contained three pits. Linear ditches traversed the site and were recorded in several trenches. <1>
