Abstract: |
Work on new buildings, to replace the existing school buildings, was monitored during the redevelopment of the former school playing fields. The results of the watching brief have shown a low level of archaeological remains on the site. There were no archaeologically significant features revealed during the watching brief. There was a background of burnt and struck flint across the entire area of the site. The retained struck flint consisted of 9 medium to high quality pieces of waste flint and hollow end scraper of probable Neolithic/Bronze Age date. However this also indicates there was no significant occupation on the site. Scatter of small and abraded sherds medieval pottery, from local coarseware jars or cooking pots suggests some kind of domestic activity at a low level in the vicinity between the mid 13th and 14th centuries, possibly continuing as late as the 15th to 16th centuries. All other finds could possibly be the result of manuring (ie brought from elsewhere) for agricultural purposes or very recent activity. |
