Two trial trenches were excavated by hand by Colchester Archaeological Group over the ditches of a cropmark indicative of a sub-square enclosure, c.50m across, also defined by geophysical survey (ECC3818). T1 measured 4.5m long x 1.2m wide and T2 5.3m long x 0.9m wide. The V-shaped ditch was of similar dimensions in both trenches, c.2.2m wide x 1.3m deep, below c.0.6m of topsoil and subsoil. 24 sherds of LBA/EIA flint-tempered pottery was recovered, 22 sherds of MIA sand-tempered pottery and 14 sherds of LIA grog-tempered pottery. The lower fill of the ditch contained LBA/EIA flint-tempered pottery through to MIA sand-tempered pottery. LIA pottery was recovered from higher up in the ditch fill. Three framents of burnt daub was also recovered. The lithics assemblage spanned the Mesolithic to the Iron Age.<1>
