Full Description
May 1998. Geophysical survey of route of proposed pipeline, site 3.
A ditched feature was noted oriented north-south, running parallel to former field boundaries shown on (S1), but not corresponding with any of these. There are also a few small possible pits visible on the results of the survey.
The site is close to a field called 'Brick pightle' on (S2).
See report (S3) for further details.

November 1998. Fieldwalking on route of proposed pipeline.
Fieldwalking produced flint flakes, pot boilers, Roman, medieval and post medieval tile fragments, medieval and post medieval pottery sherds.
See report (S4) for further details.
