Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of two dwellings at the centre of Peatling Magna, a village surrounded by settlement earthworks of medieval date. Possible Romano-British settlement evidence had been recorded 500m to the east of the village, and early Saxon grave goods may been found in the parish. During the evaluation, a number of indeterminate undated features were revealed. These included a possible cobble path and a drainage gully, and were thought to have related to gardening activity. Finds included a range of pottery dating mainly from the medieval and post-medieval periods, although a single Romano-British sherd and a Saxo-Norman sherd were also present. A small quantity of metalwork, animal bone and a whetstone were also recovered. [Au(adp)] |
