Abstract: |
The results of the trial trenching corroborated the findings of previous excavations. Evidence for the early occupation of the site, a buried soil, probably relating to the initial clearance and cultivation of the site, predated the excavation of the moat. A smaller ditch, contemporary with the moat, was probably constructed in the 13th century. This was found to cut an earlier feature, probably a pit. Ridge and furrow, on an east-west axis, was visible overlying the buried soil. Ridge and furrow was identified elsewhere on the site as directly overlying the natural subsoils; this was masked by a more modern plough soil. [Au(abr)] |
