Full description

Steinmetzer, M., 2008, Archaeological Excavation at Four Ways Cross, Willand, Devon 2007 (Phase 1) Post-Excavation Assessment Report and Updated Project Design, 4 (Report - Excavation). SDV344611.

Two segments of a north-west to south-east aligned ditch revealed during excavations on land to the north-west of Four Cross Ways. The northern segment was approximately 1.2 metres wide, 0.7 metres deep and 10 metres long; the southern segment approximately 2.5 metres wide, 1.2 metres deep and 30 metres long. It appears to be part of a boundary, but no extension was uncovered north of the hedgeline dividing the two excavation areas. This feature cut through one of the possible Bronze Age enclosure ditch segments. Other details: Figure 2. Map object based on this Source.
