Description
The ditch itself was generally steep sided with a U-shaped profile and measured 3.72m in width towards the eastern end of the site, with up to 2.25m of the ditch width visible within the excavation area towards the western end of the site; here the ditch remained steep sided, although the full extent of the feature was not determine. The ditch contained pottery from its lowest fills dating to the years just after the Norman Conquest and these were sealed by a layer yielding pottery no later than 1100 to 1200 (B1).
