Abstract: |
A trenched evaluation was conducted across land to the north of South Cove House. Archaeological features were encountered under deep deposits of mixed modern overburden and undisturbed sandy subsoil. Two pits and a north to south running ditch are likely to be of medieval date with pottery of 12th to 14th century date being recovered from one of the pits and the ditch. Spelt wheat and other cultivated grains were recovered from environmental samples taken from these features and the processing of cereals was likely to have taken place within the vicinity. The site is c.35m to the south of the church of St Lawrence's which has Norman architectural features. The site is therefore likely to be within the medieval core of the parish. Another ditch, on a different alignment to the medieval ditch, contained a pale and leached fill and a small fragment of pottery of probable Late Bronze to Early Iron Age date. Heat-altered flint and a flint scraper were residual finds in the medieval features and suggest that later prehistoric activity took place in the surrounding area. |
