Scope and Content On 5 July 2016 a watching brief was undertaken through an area of possible cropmarks (NJ63SE0036) between Glenniston Cottage to the W and Combscausway to the E. A trench 4m wide was excavated to locate a track for the mole plough. There were NNE-SSW furrows (202, 203, 205) long the entire length of the trench. At the W end of the trench an area of prehistoric activity was identified. One circular ring ditch at least 16m in diameter (201) had been but at the W end by furrow 203. A fragment of prehistoric pottery (SF10) was recovered.
