Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation and open area excavation was carried out by Archaeology South-East in advance of the construction of a single storey extension to the rear of the Rose and Crown public house. Excavation was only undertaken to the required construction formation level. Other than a single gully of Roman date remains mainly dated to the medieval and post-medieval periods. The earliest medieval remains consisted of a pit and a possible ditch in the north of the site dating to the 10th/11th century. A middle phase of activity represented by various pits, post-holes and gullies broadly dates from the 12th to the 14th centuries. The most significant feature is a north-east/south-west aligned property boundary ditch that appears to be respected by two 15th century buildings at the front of the property. In a later medieval phase dating to the late 15th to mid-16th century several large pits are dug, presumably for clay extraction, and are subsequently backfilled with cess and general rubbish. A fence-line appears to replace the infilled property boundary ditch. A contemporary barrel-lined well lies upon this boundary. Fence-lines identified in the post-medieval period are likely to be internal garden features as in the 17th century the two properties are combined and in use as an alehouse by 1691. Three cess pits, one of which is timber lined containing waste material from the alehouse firmly date to the 18th century. Modern brick and post-hole features broadly correlate with the positions of 19th century outbuildings shown on early Ordnance Survey maps. |
