Abstract: |
Post-medieval map and documentary evidence shows that the extreme southern part of the site was within farmland once owned by Barnwell Priory. The evaluation showed that the remainder was within the former lay settlement attached to the priory. A small number of residual early medieval pottery sherds including St. Neots ware may suggest that the site was occupied in this period, but significant later truncation on the site could have removed any features dating to this time. An area of medieval quarry pits, some intercutting, were found within three trenches over a 20m distance near to Coldhams Lane and were presumably dug to recover sand and gravel for nearby construction. A small assemblage of finds including pottery dating between AD 1200-1400 were found within the pits. There was no definite evidence of late medieval occupation within the site. It is possible that activity restarted from the 16th or 17th century indicated by two layers recorded within adjacent trenches. |
