Abstract: |
Planning consent was granted for the erection of two detached dwellings on land adjacent to the Green Man PH with associated alterations to the car parking area. Two 3m wide by 10.7m long trial trenches were excavated within the footprint of the proposed buildings. The trenching produced limited archaeological evidence, comprising the remains of a probable ditched boundary that is likely to date to the medieval period. No associated evidence for occupation, industrial or agricultural activity was identified and there was no evidence for truncation that might have had an impact on feature survival. The ditch is probably the remains of a medieval plot boundary that is likely to have continued from the High Street to beyond the limits of the development area. The lack of associated activity is likely to be a factor of the distance of the site from the High Street frontage, making it peripheral to the main areas of domestic activity. |
