The furrow takes the form of a large “v” shaped ditch cut into the surrounding clays. There was no evidence of any stone lining on the base or sides of the feature. The ditch was filled with recent debris including glass bottles, plastic bags, blocks of concrete and other builder’s rubble. The furrow is a visually unspectacular structure and fairly informal, but is nevertheless very well preserved as a result of its buried state. It is highly likely that aspects of the furrow are present across the northern edge of the proposed development area, and could be easily identified through further archaeological excavation.
