Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
During the autumn of 1996 excavation following evaluation revealed five principal periods of activity. A number of isolated features of Neolithic and IA date were present, but the main focus of activity was medieval. The earliest medieval features comprised an east-west ditch of pre-thirteenth-century date. This was succeeded by a rectilinear structure on roughly the same alignment, defined by a continuous, shallow gully, broken once on its southern side to form a 2.5m wide entrance. The gully is not structural and may be an eaves-trench (as at Barton Blount, Derbys.). Postholes within the gully-defined area were undiagnostic. A central hearth and associated charred plant remains suggest a domestic function for a structure dated by associated pottery to the late-thirteenth to late-fourteenth century AD. This structure was overlain by a fragmentary cobbled surface associated with the late-fourteenth to mid-fifteenth-century pottery. In the mid-fifteenth century the whole site was given over to agricultural use, evinced by the ridge-&-furrow earthworks which covered the area prior to the excavation. There are specialist reports on: `Prehistoric pottery' by David Knight (233); `Flint' by Jenny Brown & Daryl Garton (233--4); `Medieval pottery' by Pauline Beswick (234--53); `Charred plant remains' by James Rackham (253--4); `Identification of the charred plant remains' by Lisa Moffett (254--6); `Ironworking slag' by Jane Cowgill (256--7); `Archaeomagnetic dating' by Mark Noel (257--8). | ||||||||||||||
