NS 791 783 Excavations to underpin the foundations of a house that had cracked at both east and west gables and was settling along its entire south frontage revealed the forward slope of the Antonine ditch at a depth of 1.2m below the present surface under the gable cracks and sloping to a depth of 3m below the front wall. In the section to the rear or north of the gable cracks an old turf line was observed at an average depth of 1.2m with an upcast over this to a maximum height of 3.5m. A fragment of antler some 125mm long with two well eroded points was recovered from the ditch surface under the south east corner of the house (J S Wood 1982).
