NH 74478 45796 A metal detector and walkover survey were undertaken on 31 August 2016 in advance of the construction of chalets. Detecting conditions were difficult due to the area consisting mainly of mature pine trees with an understory of long grass and rushes. An array of modern detritus was located, plus a .303 shell cartridge and belt clasp, both of

20th-century date. The survey recorded a ditch, which had a small section of stone-facing visible in one area. It is understood that the ditch was constructed in c2004 to ease drainage problems.
