Observations of the trench sections of four small trenches (c. 2 x 1m in area x 1m deep), for the relocation of electricity installations, showed that much of the area had previously been badly disturbed by existing cable trenches down to a level approximating to, or below, the modern surrounding ground surface, and most of the excavation had taken place within their backfill. Clean silty sand and gravel deposits at the base of the trenches may represent the natural subsoil, though this could not be confirmed. However, on the western side of the site, levels of disturbance were much less. Here, subsoil deposits which could not be differentiated from those in the base of the trenches occur to a height of between 0.2 and 0.4 m above the modern ground level and probably represent remains of the earthwork bank. <1>
