Abstract:
Visual inspection of the pipeline easement during construction of a wastewater pipeline north of Itford Farm revealed a number of cut features in the chalk bedrock. Excavation revealed one of the features to be an Early Saxon sunken-floored building (grubenhaus) of fifth- to sixth-century date, from which a small but interesting assemblage of pottery was recovered. A boundary ditch of probable Saxo-Norman date was also investigated. Further features proved to be natural solution hollows in the chalk. No other structures were observed within the easement, but the discovery indicates the longevity of settlement at Itford Farm, and provides an interesting, albeit small-scale, example of shifting settlement patterns within the Ouse Valley.
