Type and Period
Description
September 1982. Watching brief.
A shallow undated ditch was recorded running roughly N-S across the site, but it was without finds. <1> <2>
This is presumably the ditch mentioned in source <3> which wrongly attributes the discovery of the ditch to 1983 and also mentions Late Iron Age and Roman pottery, presumably from another plot investigated during the 1983 watching brief. <3>
NRHE data transfer: no new information.
