A trial trench was dug through this feature in a subsequent evaluation in 1996. It revealed a ditch, U-shaped, 2m wide and 0.45m deep with concave sides and a rounded base. One post medieval earthenware and one Roman (Black Burnished) sherd were recovered from the fill. It was concluded that the ditch was probably a medieval agricultural feature.
