A single trench, totalling c. 780sqm in area was opened up by machineNeolithic and Bronze Agematerial was limited to a scatter of worked flint. Iron Age activity was represented by four pits filled with burnt flint. Romano-British evidence was limited to a few residual pot sherds. Several medieval (13th century) pits were found.
