Abstract: |
The following report summarised the results of archaeological works carried out between the 25th and 28th September 2000 and a subsequent excavation in 2001. It also made reference to a watching brief carried out on the same site in January 2000. The excavation recorded evidence for several phases of activity on the site and shed light on the environment of the area. The majority of the southern area of the site was devoid of archaeological features and was sealed by a thick later of alluvial clay overlying a water-lain sand deposit. Finds of early Roman pottery from within the sand provided a 'terminus post quem' for the deposition of this sequence. The hypothesised route of the River Neckinger ran directly to the south of the site and was likely to have been the source of the alluvial material. In the north of the site both the evaluation and excavation revealed a complex sequence of inter-cutting pits and ditches ranging in date from the 11th-17th century. A series of post holes and stake holes, some of which were cut by the pits was also observed and may have belonged to the earlier phase of medieval activity on the site. A trackway and a large ditch ran across the middle of the site and probably acted as a field boundary during the 17th century. The occupation of the site changed rapidly in the 19th century with the construction of brick built houses over most of the site. [Au(abr)] |
