Positive linear anomalies, indicating cut features of possible archaeological origin, were identified in the south-east of Area 7. Other details: Figures 3-6.

A north-west to south-east orientated ditch located at the south-western end of evaluation trench 13 appears to correspond with one of the anomalies. The U-shaped ditch had a single fill which was found to contain a single sherd of 3rd to 4th century pottery, an iron object and fragments of hearth or furnace lining. Charcoal, magnetic material, hammerscale, coal, a copper object, insects and a small quantity of charred seeds were identitied by environmental sampling. It was noted that features dated to the Roman period were confined to the south-eastern part of the site (Area 7) and were mostly suggestive of ditches related to field systems and it is suggested that a concentration of activity may be located to the east or south-east of the proposed development site.
