Abstract: |
Trenching across this site in advance of development revealed a post-medieval ditch of 17th or 18th century date which ran at approximate right-angles to the current road frontage. The trench nearest to the road also revealed three pits which, despite containing oyster shell, animal bone and fired clay fragments, were undated. Roman, medieval and post-medieval archaeology is present in the vicinity, so these pits could have belonged to any of these periods; although medieval or post-medieval seems most likely given the proximity of buildings of this age in the village. Away from the road frontage and the post-medieval ditch, no archeologically significant finds, features or deposits were observed. |
