Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. Possible Saxon and medieval burials had been recorded in the surrounding area, and earthworks which represented medieval or post-medieval house platforms lay nearby. During the evaluation, four ditches, four post holes and a possible pit were revealed. Saxon pottery was recovered from one ditch, whilst another ditch and a post hole contained Iron Age pottery. A fragment of a hand quern and several animal bones were also found. The remains were found to have been truncated by presumably later agriculture. It was concluded that the survival of floors or other occupation levels was therefore unlikely. [AIP] |
