No archaeological features within scope for recording by the project were identified in this area. Those features which were visible appear to be of modern origin, or to correlate with boundaries depicted on readily available historical maps. These include a curvilinear ditch visible as an earthwork on visualised lidar data (S1) close to the southern edge of the site (between TF 7630 3656 and TF 7642 3654), which corresponds with a woodland boundary depicted on the Ordnance Survey 1st edition 6 inch map (S2). This may be the earthwork ditch referred to above.
