Abstract: |
An Archaeological Watching Brief monitoring ground reduction and the construction of a foundation raft encountered natural brickearth which was revealed at an average height of 2.71m OD across the site. Cutting through the natural deposits were two unexcavated, and thus undated, linear features and possible ploughmarks. One of these features was on direct alignment with a pre-monastic field ditch dated to the period c.1000-1135 found to the south during the excavations on Stratford Langthorne Abbey and may be part of the same field system. These cuts were sealed by a ploughsoil from which no datable artefacts were recovered. Cutting through the ploughsoil across the north and south of the site were two ditches of probable a late medieval/early post-medieval date. The southern one may have originally been the drainage/roadside ditch along the northern side of the road located to the north of the abbey buildings. Late post-medieval features consisted of the backfills of a ditch, two pits possibly associated with leather working and a wall, possibly dating to the 18th century, which were overlain by 19th and 20th century made ground. A small residual sherd of Bronze Age/Iron Age pottery was recovered residually from a post-medieval pit. |
