Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised the excavation of six 20m trial trenches. During the construction of a malthouse on the site in the mid 1860s, a Romano-British pottery kiln and a number of inhumation burials had been found during the excavation of the foundations. This evaluation did not locate similar features but did find a section of ditch, which yielded three sherds of pottery ranging in date from the 2nd to 3rd to the 3rd and early 4th centuries. Although undated and unexcavated, two possible post holes and a possible pit found at the same levels may also have been of the same date. Two plough marks and ploughsoils of probable post-medieval origin were located. The evaluation also identified a number of wall footings, floor levels and load bearing brick pillars as well as made ground deposits associated with the 19th century malthouse, and deposits associated with its demolition in the 1970s.
