Abstract: |
Evidence for a post-built structure possibly of middle Saxon date was found at the southern end of the site. Two parallel ditches crossed the site on an east-west alignment, and a series of postholes were located parallel with the most southerly ditch. Finds from the southern ditch included late Saxon pottery, three iron knives, a whet stone, a chalk spindle whorl and fragments of lava quern. The northern ditch and postholes contained few artefacts, which could be closely dated. All the features were likely to be associated with property boundaries dating from at least as early as the Late Saxon period. [Au(abr)] |
