    • Trench 2 was located adjacent to a previous trench excavated in advance of the neighbouring 'Green Wheel' cycle track. The previous trench contained Beaker pottery along with stakeholes interpreted as fencerow. In Trench 2, a continuation of these features were seen with 7 pits, 6 postholes and 3 stakeholes. The features were more ephemeral and sometimes just over 0.1m deep! These features had no structural pattern and were probably a reflection of the fen edge activity to stabilise the ground surface.
