Notes about this historic site

1 A significant number of ditches and gullies were found which were stratigraphically early but were essentially undated. No firm dating material was found, but they are probably of comparable age to archaeological finds on neighbouring properties, later prehistoric or Roman. The most significant feature detected in the foundations for the proposed garage was a large linear ditch measuring 2.9m wide and over 0.6m deep with moderately steep sides. It probably represented a significant boundary feature.
