          Description
              Probable boundary drains, ditches and sites of light industrial activity were noted during evaluation trenching in this area in 2009. This evidence implies that occupation here was once more widespread than the currently surviving farm buildings might indicate. This activity underlies a broad system of ridge and furrow (HER 16185).
