| Abstract: |
An assemblage of largely dispersed, post-Roman pottery from the intertidal zone at Hills Flats suggests that shipping touched the coast there over the entire last millennium. Regional wares are especially well represented. The medieval group, augmented by a fourth stratified sherd from the palaeochannel of Hill Pill crossing the Flats, can be linked to a rough stone quay in the pill and suggests a degree of trading at this minor creek. Among the cargoes landed were coal and iron ore, almost certainly from the Forest of Dean. The post-medieval groups, however, are not associated with a recorded landing place, and may simply represent items of daily use discarded from vessels that berthed on the open shore when tides and weather were unfavourable. A major episode of coastal erosion may have caused the change in function of the site. |
