NR79SE 92 c. 775 909
NR 775 909 In October 2003, prior to the construction of a house, three trenches were hand-excavated across a turf and stone bank, and six trenches by machine across the proposed area of the development. A further area of possible structural stone was investigated. The turf and stone bank was probably a stock enclosure of pre-improvement date rather than part of a water management system. No other significant archaeological features or finds were noted.
Report lodged with WoSAS SMR and the NMRS.
