Abstract: |
<summary>An archaeological evaluation in the grounds of Egerton House, involving the excavation of seven trenches, revealed evidence of settlement activity dating to the late Iron Age - early Romano-British period, including part of a large ditch with an adjacent structure lying to the north of the house and a shallow boundary ditch to the east of the house. These features were overlain by a layer thought possibly to be the remnants of an agricultural soil of late Romano-British - Saxon date. Residual Saxon pottery was also recovered. Medieval/early post-medieval features identified included a stone structure and a series of stone surfaces uncovered from beneath a recent embankment, demolition material from an earlier building beneath the lawn to the south of the house, and a medieval boundary ditch which had been replaced during the Post-Medieval period by a linear stone feature on the same alignment. {italon}AIP{italoff} |
