Description
A total of 101 trial trenches were excavated across the area measuring on average 50 m in length by 1.8 m wide, slightly more than five percent of the whole site area. Agricultural activity in the form of furrows, plough scars, field drains, and drainage ditches were uncovered across the site. Features recorded included a drystone wall and ditches (MAB30903), linear boundary ditches (MAB59786 and MAB59787), a quarry pit (MAB59788) and a prehistoric worked stone tool (MAB47917). The site of a Royal Observatory Corps post (MAB59773) could not be evaluated as it lay within an area of live services.
