A large linear feature, 36, interpreted as a trackway, was traced over a distance of 150m running north-east to south-west along the east side of the excavated area. On the same alignment as the ditches surrounding the medieval building. Two phases were apparent. Heavy use of this trackway suggested by its having developed into a hollow way. Few finds were recovered but did include ceramic roof tile, a horseshoe, several iron nails and four sherds of Late Bronze Age pottery.
