Description
A post-medieval soil-dump over the whole site, and covering a series of parallel east-west ridges and troughs on the chalk. This is probably from horticultural activity: trenching/triple digging to improve drainage creating an orchard area. Agrees with Collier's plan of 1742 and Knyff's painting of 1708. Inclusion of clay pipe suggest dump of late 17th century date <1>.
