Abstract: |
The stripping and archaeological evaluation of the site was carried out over two phases: Phase 1 revealed the presence of archaeological features dating from the 11th to 20th centuries; the majority belonging to the 19th-20th century. Phase 2 uncovered features dating to the later 11th - mid 14th centuries with the majority of activity on site occurring during this period. No archaeological evidence was found: Predating the 11th century. From the period of 17th century to the 18th century. Results from the excavation revealed evidence of unusual 19th-early 20th century domestic practices of burying broken glass from mainly bottles and vessels (medicinal, cosmetic, poison)- possibly linked to contamination/illness superstitions. 11th-14th century evidence such as ceramics and animal bone confirm small-scale activity during the pre and post conquest years most likely associated with a manor house -as recorded in historical sources -although the exact location of this early manor house is unknown. A cattle burial was of particular interest given age discrepancies between its head and body, as well as displaying an intriguing cut mark not normally associated with animal butchery. This animal may signify casual disposal or symbolic gesture. |
