Abstract: |
The site lies on the northwestern periphery of the modern village, adjacent to the site of the 19th century railway station and line. There is little evidence for early occupation in Legbourne, with a small assemblage of Roman pottery being recovered during archaeological investigations nearly 2km from the site, and settlement in Legbourne probably dates from the late Saxon period. In the mid 12th century the Cistercian Legbourne Priory was founded, lying on the north side of the River Eau to the southwest of the village. The site is currently in use as an agricultural field. Geophysical survey of the site has identified only limited archaeological potential, traces of probable ridge and furrow in the western half of the site and a small number of possible anomalies in the east. Trenches were positioned to investigate these results. Four trenches excavated on the western half of the site were recorded as being void of any archaeological remains. Trenches 5 and 6 in the east both contained cut features, including one substantial ditch roughly corresponding with a magnetic anomaly on the geophysics. The only dating evidence came from a shallow gully which indicates activity in the early Roman period. |
