Site Event/Activity record ESF19941 - Evaluation, Land North of 7-14 Narrow Way, Wenhaston

Six trial trenches were excavated in arable land beside the village of Wenhaston. A number of ditches including a possible palisade trench were recorded, as well as some discrete pit and post-hole features. Some of the ditches are likely to be medieval or later, but the possible palisade trench, a ditch, pits and the post-holes may be Iron Age or Romano-British in date. Finds from the Roman and medieval periods were collected.
