Abstract:
Two archaeological test pits were excavated within the yard area to the rear of the building, whilst two previously dug engineering pits were examined and recorded within its interior. Archaeological features, perhaps different parts of the same large pit, were identified, within each of the two test pits in the yard. Within the pit were found large amounts of burnt sedge fuel and charred cereal threshing, the latter perhaps the discarded contents of medieval bread ovens. The infilling of this feature from the north-east suggested that occupation refuse was then coming from an area of settlement from the current Malting Lane and Newnham House, formerly the location of Mortimer Manor and associated medieval tenancies. Beneath the foundations of the currently standing 19th century buildings, two engineering test pits revealed the brick footings for what were probably once 17th century dwellings. [Au(abr)]
