‘Trench 11 contained a single ditch 1103, which crossed the trench on a north-east/south-west orientation. This feature (1.2m in width) could not be fully excavated due to the high water table, but the fill consisted of a grey/brown sand/clay, 1104. Worked flint was collected from the feature indicating a possible prehistoric date.’
