Abstract

The investigation confirmed the presence of background prehistoric activity on the site observed during earlier archaeological works. This included a boundary ditch containing Romano-British pottery and worked flint, and a small pit and tree throw containing worked flint. A substantial sized undated pit was also investigated and the function of this feature remains unclear.

The only evidence of Civil war period activity on the site came from a single artefact, one lead shot suitable for a large pistol, recovered from the topsoil during the investigations.
