Abstract: |
17 trenches were excavated in 2016. The trial trench evaluation located archaeological finds and deposits in 12 of 17 trenches. Most of the archaeological remains consisted of late Saxon - early medieval (AD 850 - 1250) former field boundaries, along with some associated activity. Ditches orientated NNE-SSW, perhaps a droveway, were seen in Trenches 7, 8, and 16, confirming geophysical anomalies across Fields 2 and 3. They date to the late Saxon-early medieval period. More discrete features in Field 2 relate to medieval activity in the Knights End Road area. A post-medieval cobble surface was located in Field 4, this may be part of a cobble surface seen in earlier excavations found in association with a barn. |
