Abstract: |
A watching brief and salvage recording were undertaken during groundworks for a new pavilion and tennis courts at Littletons Tennis Club. During groundworks a path of post-medieval or later date was recorded immediately below the turf line, this was within the area known to have been a POW/refugee camp during the Second World War. A dump of empty ration tins was discovered to the north of the path. Ridge and furrow was observed and recorded underlying the topsoil. Little dating evidence was recovered, but the pottery suggested the late medieval to post-medieval period. Below the ridge and furrow and a layer of green clay and stone was a buried soil layer that contained Roman pottery, bone and charcoal; interesting considering the proximity of the Roman road in South Littleton. No evidence of the suspected Saxon occupation was present. [Au(adp)] |
