Abstract:		 Excavations revealed rare evidence for Middle Saxon and medieval rural settlements in London's hinterland. Saxon activity was represented by a number of small gullies and other linear features dated by pottery and other artefacts to the second half of the eighth century AD, when Barking Abbey probably owned Battersea. Some imported pottery was found dating from this period. It is suggested that occupation at Battersea ceased temporarily during the Norse invasions in the second half of the ninth century. Among the earliest medieval features on the site were a pit, possibly of Saxo-Norman date, and a boundary ditch, which may have been infilled in the second half of the twelfth century. Other features including structural remains, perhaps representing part of a farm building, and a number of gullies and pits are dated to the twelfth or thirteenth centuries. These might be related to the documented manor house at Battersea, but it is suggested that the main nucleus of occupation lay closer to the church. In the post-medieval period a series of long, narrow bedding trenches, some with individual plant holes in their bases, shows that the northern part of the site was occupied by the kitchen gardens of the later Battersea manor house. Traces of prehistoric and Roman activity were also recorded. See also 2002/990. Includes two separately authored reports on:
