Abstract: |
Excavation of a 0.91ha area, investigating remains identified by preceding geophysical survey and trial-trench evaluation. The great majority of recorded archaeological features were indicative of medieval (11th- to 13th-century) land use activity, comprising at least five possible phases of development and culminating in a large ditched boundary delineating the edge of the historic Cattishall Green. Earlier ditches are likely a result of agricultural activity and show the gradual movement of the boundary from east to west. Within this agricultural landscape area were pits and three oven/kilns, the latter likely used for grain processing. Sampling of their fills and of fills of some ditches and pits attests to the medieval-period cultivation of wheat, oats and rye crops in the vicinity and to their cleaning/processing and probable drying. This medieval agricultural land use was of similar date and nature as that recorded within the Phase 1 excavation area to the west. |
