Abstract: |
Three sites were identified during the course of the evaluation. A 1st century farmstead consisting of large ditches and gullies was identified predominantly in trenches 47, 48 and 49. No domestic refuse was recovered and the fills had little ash and charcoal which indicated that the main area of domestic settlement was not nearby. An early (11th century) medieval open field system with drainage channels was also identified predominantly in trenches 2 and 7. Many of these ditches and gullies had been recut for reuse in the 16th century. Later ridge and furrow was also evident across the area. The eastern half of the site had been extensively disturbed by modern activity, mostly between 1915 and 1995. Demolition layers, traces of wooden posts and bricks stamped Whitfield Gloucester (a local producer) were recorded in trenches 22-39. The finds from the area included 1st and 11th century pottery and also one fragment of a Late Iron Age rim sherd from a pit in trench 55. [Au(abr)] |
