Description

Three evaluation trenches were dug which varied in size but were all sunk to a uniform depth of 1.75 metres. Trench 1 measured 2 x 2 metres and revealed a possible linear feature which comprised a layer of cobbles which were placed in a shallow cut. Underneath this a vertically sided cut was seen which had been truncated in the west by the construction of a modern building foundation. The feature, however, was observed to be continuing in a northerly direction beyond the limit of the excavation. Recovered from both these features were small finds which were of Roman date. Trenches 2 and 3 were reported to have been devoid of archaeolgical features with both containing a mass of debris which was modern in date down the depth limit of the excavation.
