In 1983, a trench was cut into a track-side garden E of Chapelton burial ground. Below garden soil two cultivation furrows were intercepted running N- S, part of a set visible on aerial photographs S of the adjacent lane. At the W end of the trench the surviving furrow was a shallow cut in the gravel subsoil flanked by traces of parallel plough scores. About 11m to the E the second furrow had been disturbed by a later well. An amorphous patch of grey ashy soil directly overlying subsoil between the two furrows resembled the soil associated with the backfill of the enclosure ditch noted on NO64NW 60, but only one sherd of (late) medieval pottery was recovered from the 80m of the excavation.
