Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed four potential phases of activity including the recent construction and demolition of a 20th century building, a late post-medieval building and agricultural activity . A homogenous buried soil and the remains of a robust working pony were also present. The earliest phase of activity dates to the medieval period and comprises two pits (1004 and 1008) associated with domestic waste disposal, however pit 1004 may also be a ditch terminal given its more rectangular shape. Fragments of late medieval brick also suggest building activity in the immediate vicinity of the site. A single sherd of residual Roman pottery was recovered from the medieval pits and suggests a wider Roman presence in the area rather than any distinct Roman activity in the site. The site has suffered significant truncation from both 19th century and later 20th century development, however some isolated post-medieval building remains have survived along with deeper medieval features. |
