Identified by W. Milligan (NCM) 24 March 1981.
(S1) explains that she means the ditch that encloses the entire field within which this find was made. Here she only says that its arms are 'as wide as a moat' and implies it is an area of early settlement taken out of the green. The size would certainly be huge for a moat, and a drainage ditch aound a late medieval settlement would seem more probable.
E. Rose (NAU) 5 June 1985.
