Description:
Trench. Narrow linear depression, beginning at the edge of the hill slope (eroded out) where it is shallow, silted over and poorly defined. Thick, scrubby vegetation (oak, rhododendron) covers the feature. Some places appear to have had water running over them in recent times. Some clearer areas near the southern end of the trench. Where it continues out to the spur, is a roughly circular depression (dug-out?), 140cm wide x 35cm deep. The trench continues on to end in another rounded depression/pit, approximately 180cm in diameter x 40cm deep. Near to these features was a large artefact scatter (F462
