Abstract: |
A monitoring visit was made to a site where foundation trenches for a conservatory had been excavated. The surrounding area was rich in archaeological finds, and features ranging from an Iron Age hearth through to a large oven or furnace of the late Roman period had been found at a site to the north. The site itself was fronted by a premises of late 18th century date. Inspection of the trenches resulted in the discovery of an undamaged Bellarmine jug, which was not sealed. An orangey, iron-like residue was observed within it. A finds report included in the monitoring report noted that the mask on the jug was typical of the mid-late 17th century, and that it had almost certainly functioned as a witch bottle. Broken clay pipe stems, oyster shell, an animal tooth, bone and a small glass bottle were also retrieved. [AIP] |
