Full Description
Lancley, J, 1991, Empool to Chalbury Main. Archaeological Watching Brief (Unpublished document). SDO218.
‘3.3.1 Undated features
The majority of the undated features were ditches (Sites 1-4, 6-9). In the cases of Sites 1, 3, 8 and 9, the ditches were isolated, with no evidence for either associated structures or diagnostic material. The ditch at Site 1 appeared to have been recut, it was positioned close to the existing field boundary between plots 1 and 2, and was probably associated with it. Most of the undated ditches were probably either drainage ditches or former field boundaries.
…. Large hollow with small ditch both sealed by soil layers … Hollow 161 orientated east-west, rounded profile: 8.6m wide, 2m deep. … Cut 162, moderately steep-sided, flat bottomed ditch 3m wide, 1m deep.’
