Full Description
May-June 2012. Walkover Survey.
Archaeological Earthwork Rapid Identification Survey within Old Common Plantation (Compartment 9).
A roughly east-to-west aligned 5m wide depression with banked sides up to 0.5m high was identified between TF 9020 4147 and TF 9032 4149 (Site 20). This has been interpreted as a former track or road line and was potentially one of the various medieval routeways that crossed this former common.
It is infilled at its eastern end with construction material for the adjancent track.
See report (S1) for further details.
