Licence 17E0306 and 20E0004. The ditches were discovered during monitoring and subsequently partially excavated, in 2017 and 2020. Consultation of aerial imagery led to discovery of cropmarked ditches surrounding ringfort CO051-107. The ditches excavated are part of the western extent of the large cropmarked enclosure surrounding the 'ringfort'. The ditch was v-shaped in profile and measured 2.32-2.5m in width by 1.18 - 1.51m in depth. Sherds of medieval pottery (13th/14th century in date), hone stones and slag were recovered from the fills.
