Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was carried out, revealing low levels of redeposited Roman and Late Saxon pottery that form the earliest evidence from the site. The first indication of substantial occupation comes in the 11th-12th century, indicated by the pottery assemblage, an antler gaming counter and other finds. A number of 12th-14th century quarry pits were excavated and a small building of unspecified function was found. The bulk of the overall pottery assemblage was of this period, with associated animal bone, mollusc remains, fired clay (possibly from oven type structures), roof and floor tile, mortar and lavastone. Following this, the building was demolished. A further series of late medieval/transitional and later pits and postholes, as well as levelling layers then dominated the site. These contexts produced pottery, decorative tiles, animal bone, CBM, window and bottle glass, iron nails, tobacco pipes and slag. Small finds from the site included fragments of an unprovenanced alabaster vessel and a well preserved copper alloy chain and may be of religious origin. A number of fragments of coloured medieval window glass, a lead window came and several iron objects may be related to the structure. Other small finds include an antler Saxo-Norman carved gaming counter, a medieval spindlewhorl, late medieval button making waste, antler working waste, a 15th-16th century boy bishop token and a 15th-16th century glass bead. Post-medieval small finds include a pin, a Charles I rose farthing, a bone spoon handle and other metal items.
