Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The earliest feature excavated was a small Roman ditch or gully. The finds suggested a date in the latter half of the 1st century AD. The upper part of the ditch and the layer above had been badly disturbed by later activity. It contained 1st to early 3rd century pottery as well as some medieval pottery. A medieval pit was found to the north of the ditch and produced late 13th/early 14th century pottery, together with part of an 11th/12th century cooking pot. Two possible medieval features were also discovered. One appeared to have been used as a rubbish pit and contained late 13th/early 14th century pottery. The second, which was only partially excavated, was lined with chalk blocks and may have been used as a soakaway. The finds were also late 13th/early 14th century. The upper layers of both had been disturbed and contained post-medieval pottery. Part of a mid to late 17th century building, which appeared to have been demolished towards the end of the 18th century, was uncovered. A number of 18th century pits were revealed beneath the floor of one of the recently demolished outbuildings. Several 19th century features were also excavated. | ||
