NS 8431 7991 (centred on) Four test trenches were excavated, 16–18 February 2011, to ascertain the extent of the current drainage scheme and to characterise the extent of the in situ remains of the Roman ditch. The trenches revealed that a number of changes had been made to the earthwork by the drainage works of the 1960s.
The ditch, originally V-shaped, had been stripped, truncated to the N and S and the central area excavated. The excavated material had been retained and placed over the installed drainage. As a result of this work the ditch now has an uncharacteristic flat-bottomed U-shaped profile in this area.
