Abstract: |
A complex sequence of intercutting features, extending over the entire area, were excavated. Prehistoric pottery was recovered, but was residual and not associated with any features. Features of Anglo-Saxon date (9th or 10th century AD), possibly the remains of a building were identified and a significant quantity of Anglo-Saxon pottery was also recovered. Nearly all features were medieval, dated by pottery to between the 11th and 15th centuries. Medieval features included parallel east-west boundary ditches, which appeared to define a plot within which were the possible remains of a building. Further evidence of medieval quarrying was also noted along the western edge of the area. Occupation of the site appeared to have ceased during the medieval period, by the 15th century at least. The site appeared to have been used for cultivation or stock keeping during the post-medieval period to the present time.[Au(abr)] |
