Identified a possible early pattern of field ditches and collected various artifacts.
Two phases of land division were identified, likely dating to the medieval and post-medieval periods.
Artifacts found included prehistoric worked flint, medieval pottery sherds, and post-medieval items like tiles and nails.
Most artifacts were residual, found in overlying deposits.
