'In October 2018, Trysor undertook a watching bried on groundworks for a rear extension at Ruscombe House, Westgate, Cowbridge. Two linear features were recorded within the foundation trench Contexts [006] and [008] were sealed by a former plough soil dating to before Ruscombe House was built in the 1970s. No dating evidence was retrieved from feature [006] and only artefacts dating to the 19th century or later were recovered from [008]. Feature [006] was a shallow gully with a homogeneous fill. Feature [008] was a much larger, deeper feature filled by a charcoal-rich silt clay.'
