Abstract: |
The evaluation excavation proved conclusively that archaeological deposits and features dating to the medieval period or earlier survived at a depth of 0.70 metres and more below the current ground level. At least three phases of medieval activity from the 12th to mid-14th centuries were identified, which included clay extraction and structural evidence. Other evidence suggested the presence of several phases of structures and a sequence of pitting possibly dating to as early as the 10th century and sealed by a deposit of mid-14th century date. A large 18th century pond or water filled pit was also located. The evaluation demonstrated that Hartford Road was part of the early medieval town which seemed to have contracted during the 14th century confirming the accuracy of a 1572 survey of the area. [Au] |
