| Abstract: |
A 20m by 3m trench was opened in advance of the building of an annexe on the rear grassed garden of the hospice. Natural brickearth was cut by two features: a pit and a ditch. The pit was small and shallow and contained a dumped redeposited brickearth fill containing much charcoal and one iron object that was unidentifiable but thought to probably be of pre-18th century date as it was of wrought iron (though it could have been a more recent blacksmith's product). The ditch was of 19th or 20th century date. Both features were sealed by a brickearth subsoil that had been worked by bioturbation and/or gardening activity, and which contained a fragment of modern drainpipe and one sherd of 6th or 7th century chaff-tempered Saxon pottery. The subsoil was sealed by a modern topsoil. Though there was no evidence of prehistoric or Roman activity, one Saxon sherd was found in a residual context. The modern ditch contained one sherd of Coarse Border Ware dated to 1270 -1500 and this was the only medieval find from the site. There were no prehistoric, Roman, Saxon or medieval features within the evaluation trench. [Au(abr)] |
