Discussion

Initial machine clearance of ploughsoil over mostly natural pink and white chalk, but also areas of sand and gravel and hillwash. The area was defined by the presence of three main phases of enclosure ditches. A number of pits were also initially defined. The remainder of the features were only defined by subsequent cleaning spits.
