Abstract: |
Two trial trenches were excavated as an evaluation in advance of a potential housing development. There was no definite evidence for Roman or Anglo-Saxon activity on the site, though a potential Roman clay quarry was located. Most of the deposits related to the medieval period with the earliest ceramics dating to the 11th or 12th century. This activity was mostly associated with domestic occupation, demonstrated by the presence of typical rubbish or cess pits, though industrial processes such as clay quarrying or ironworking were also taking place, either on site or in the vicinity. Remains were almost certainly destroyed during extensive clearance of bomb damaged areas during the Second World War. Evidence from the excavation suggested that any buildings there were quite late, perhaps originating no earlier than the late 15th century. [Au(abr)] |
