Trench 4 revealed a single north-east to south-west aligned ditch of indeterminate date, corresponding to a large curvilinear geophysical anomoly. The ditch contained three worked flint flakes of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. As it is relatively shallow and runs down a relatively steep slope, it may be a field boundary
