Abstract: |
Excavations were undertaken within the grounds of St. Ives Priory. The excavation revealed evidence for Romano-British occupation in the form of large enclosure ditches (twice re-cut), other ditches and pits. Saxon pottery and a polished bone pin beater were found within a Grubenhauser. A vertically-posted structure, and other stake and postholes may have represented secondary structures. A substantial 13th-14th century ditch, traversing the eastern half of the site and aligned N/S, may have represented the western boundary of the Priory precinct. A layer of cultivated soil sealed the medieval and earlier features. Medieval and post-medieval features, principally pits but including a row of four agricultural lazy beds, cut the cultivated soil.
