Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising the excavation of two trenches in advance of the construction of a new building at the Mary Evans Hospice recorded little trace of the nearby medieval pottery industry at Chilvers Coton. The trench within the hospice garden was shallow and contained no archaeological features other than several plough cuts. A few finds were recovered from an old ploughsoil including a single sherd of late 13th to 14th century pottery posssibly deriving from the nearby pottery kilns, a single 17th to 18th century sherd and a fragment of clay tabacco pipe. These finds can be attributed to manure spreading in arable fields. the trench for the new car park was excavated through considerable depth of building debris associated with the construction of the George Elliot Hospital. However, no archaeological features were encountered and no finds were recovered from this trench. |
