| Abstract: |
Archaeological observation of the site revealed no features associated with a probable Roman road which ran adjacent to the site. An earthwork of a ditch, to the rear of the property, was the remains of a boundary which appeared on 19th century maps. This boundary may have represented the northern edge of the medieval village, with properties fronting the Green to its south and the ridge and furrow of the medieval open field system to the north. Observation of foundation trenches for new buildings south of the boundary, on plots that probably lay within the medieval settlement, revealed only a few sherds of 18th and 19th century pottery which may have been domestic rubbish or evidence for the manuring of the fields from the adjacent farm.
