Description

Observations and recording during stripping of topsoil from the area of a proposed quarry extension. Two stone-filled drains were revealed but no other features or deposits of archaeological interest, suggesting that Iron Age/Roman activity discovered in the late 1940s is confined to the western part of the field.
