Full Description

Little archaeological material was recorded during the watching brief on the cable trench at Gosbecks Archaeological Park. The two linear features which were identified are likely to be ditches associated with the track ways that traversed the area within the dyke system and which were incorporated into the field systems. The other features that were identified were modern services. There was no evidence of ditches or earthworks where the trench crossed Gryme's Dyke, Gosbecks Dyke or Heath Farm Dyke, nor was the ditch of the fort observed during the watching brief.<1>
