Description
Further evaluations on this site took place in August 2000. Further work took place in Areas S and Z where archaeological features had been identified in the earlier trial trenching (see EHG3). No additional features of archaeological significance were found in Area S. An area totalling 875 sq m was excavated around the linear feature in Area Z exposing what appeared to be the return of a ditched enclosure of unknown, but possibly prehistoric or medieval, date. No secure dating evidence was recovered from either of the stone-filled pits that had previously been identified. Further excavations were recommended. <1>
