Abstract: |
The site is situated on what was the end of a large garden belonging to the old vicarage of the Parish church. The vicarage was in existence from the 15th century until the mid 19th century, and the church is thought to be the site of a monastery mentioned in documentary sources in the early 10th century. The excavation of three evaluation trenches revealed a homogenous layer of post medieval garden soil that was typically 0.40m thick which directly overlay the limestone bedrock. No archaeological features were observed; pottery from the garden soil dated from the late 17th century onwards and was typically 18th and 19th century in date. It seems likely that the garden soil was imported in the 18th or 19th century to improve or create the vicarage gardens which this site once formed part of. |
