Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the excavation of the foundation trenches for a new building. The Bain Valley had been the focus of settlement since the Neolithic and flint tools of this and the Bronze Age had been found in the vicinity. Coningsbury may have been a Saxon royal centre, although no evidence for this had been found. The medieval church and vicarage were the earliest extant remains in the village. The investigation identified three quarry pits of the later medieval period. A fourth quarry pit and a boundary gully were also revealed and, although undated, were thought to have been contemporary with the other quarries. A range of medieval pottery as well as more recent ceramics, a flint tool, glass and animal bone were retrieved. [Au(abr)] |
