Abstract: |
The results of archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with the construction of a Garage/Office at Thatched Cottage, Priory Farm, St Olaves (Planning Ref. BA/2010/0417/FUL). The plot size designated for the development is c. 200m2, located in an area recently cleared of 20th century farm outbuildings. The proposed development site lies within the former precinct of St Olaves Augustinian Priory (Scheduled Monument 398), in close proximity to the Scheduled Area. The extant ruins of the Priory include elements of the church, cloister and refectory. Archaeological features have been recorded from cropmarks immediately to the north of the proposed development area which may relate to fishponds, trackways and field boundaries associated with the Priory.A medieval ditch was discovered, the orientation of which appeared to match well with a linear feature identifiable at the time of works through cropmarks in the field to the north. A lower subsoil of medieval to early post-medieval date was recorded, buried below a soil horizon which may include post-medieval levelling activity (intended to reduce the natural incline of the site from south to north). A small number of artefacts were collected as residual finds, which include a single fragment of medieval pottery, a medieval glazed floor tile and possible fragment of ?Roman pilae tile. |
