Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation involved the excavation of 4 trial-trenches, primarily located to evaluate the road frontages and areas of the site which may have been adjacent to the medieval green. Most of the archaeology identified in the evaluation was directly related to features and structures appearing on the Tithe Map and early editions of the OS maps, which included field boundaries and a series of tenement plots, with associated buildings. Other features identified were recorded along the western edge of the site, including a ditch of possible prehistoric date, a ditch of unknown date and a circular, chalk lined structure of indeterminate function with associated pit that included sherds of early medieval coarse ware pottery and a post-medieval handmade iron nail. Possible interpretations for the circular structure included; a rick-base, a base for a windmill or dovecote, none of which were very convincing, as the feature did not confirm to excavated examples of these structures.
