Abstract: |
A wealth of information has been revealed by these archaeological investigations. The earliest ditched boundary features (Phase 1) could relate to either pre- or post-Conquest settlement activities and suggest a different articulation of landscape boundaries in comparison to the later phases of the site. By the 13th and14th centuries (Phase 2) at least part of the site is likely to have formed part of the outer precinct of Lenton Priory, although the layout and organisation of the market/fair is less well understood at this time and the layout of boundary features appear to also bear some relationship to earlier land divisions. During the 15th and 16th centuries (Phase 3) we see a number of boundary re-organisations on the site, and the analysis of finds and environmental residues also reveals increasing changes in waste disposal patterns, with artefacts and ecofacts indicative of rubbish/waste disposal now found in a variety of features, such as surface middens. The Phase 3 enclosure boundaries, including a cell reminiscent of burgage-style back plots, have a distinctive north-west to south-east alignment and it seems likely that they take their alignment from a routeway. Phase 4 (16th-17th centuries) represents post-dissolution activities. This activity phase sees a marked contraction of activity on the site, although some drainage and latrine facilities remained. |
