Abstract: |
<summary>Three trial-trenches were excavated adjacent to the Mill Lane frontage, in order to locate the line of the town's defensive ditch. Although this was located some 10m back from the frontage, no section fully traversed the ditch and both its width and full depth remained uncertain. Early Medieval pottery from the ditch did, however, suggest that it had been filled by the 11th/12th century. Pits, building slots and post holes containing contemporary fills suggested that settlement had already spread outside the circular defences of the town, into the extra-mural parish of All Saints, prior to the final filling of the ditch. {italon}Sec(17c){italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} SUY034 |
