Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken for a house extension. One of the foundation trenches which ran parallel to the farmhouse exposed areas of archaeological interest. The trench exposed two areas of medieval stone walls built of large lumps of Kentish Ragstone set in a lime mortar with associated stratification. One of the areas of medieval walls running north-west, south-east was badly truncated by a cut for a modern sewer pipe, but excavation of the foundation bed of lime mortar below the pipe revealed in a secure context a single fresh, large sherd of early medieval shell-tempered pottery dated to about c.1150-1175/1200AD. No other archaeological features apart from the associated stratification to the two medieval walls were revealed during the cutting of the foundation trenches. [Au(abr)] |
