Abstract: |
17 evaluation trenches were excavated prior to the submission of a planning application for the redevelopment of the site. The earliest datable feature was a deposit of large stones set in clay associated with a considerable assemblage of Romano-British pottery. It was proposed that this represented part of a trackway or roughly paved surface dating from the 3rd or 4th century AD. An occupation layer overlay most of the site, containing medieval pottery of 12th to 15th-century AD. It was possible that some masonry walls were of a contemporary date. Drystone boundary walls were also located, corresponding to boundaries depicted in the 1840 Tithe map: these probably dated from the 18th century or earlier. Two stone buildings with cobbled floors were also located where buildings were shown on 19th century sources. [Au(abr)] |
