Description
This gully was excavated in advance of a proposed housing development. It had been previously radiocarbon dated to 162 calBC - 5 calAD. An 11.75m length of the gully oriented north-south was excavated, having been truncated by a furrow and later ploughing. It measured 0.70m wide and 0.21m deep and had concave sides and a concave base. It was interpreted as a component of a wider field system associated with a settlement elsewhere, as no associated features had been identified within the development area.
