Full Description
Two ditches were recorded, aligned E to W across the southern part of the site, 25m and 37m north of London Road (which roughly follows the line of Stane Street Roman Road). There were no finds from either of the features. These ditches could hae been constructed at the same time as Stane Street as they are aligned to it, perhaps as field boundaries or settlement enclosure ditches. Alternatively they could be field boundaries or drainage ditches of later date. They do not appear to correspond to any field boundaries showing on the OS 1st edition 1874-76 map or later maps, so they are probably earlier than the late C19th. Apart from these features, which were to the south of the site, the watching brief was negative.<1>
