| Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out. Flint scatters and other prehistoric finds suggested that there was some form of Mesolithic activity associated with the site and even in the later prehistoric period as well. There was no direct evidence for Roman occupation, although some Roman stones and other artefacts have been found during excavations, but it seemed that they were brought in at a later time. The site was occupied from the late 7th century to at least the mid 19th century, when an early medieval monastery was established. The presence of a cemetery indicated that there was a lay settlement close by. It was possible that there was pre-monastic activity on site. The monastery was abandoned in the mid 9th century, then was refounded in the late 11th century until the Dissolution in the late 1530s. It was later converted into a hall, then levelled after it burned down and later 19th century housing was built on its site. No archaeological material was found during the watching brief undertaken during the excavation of four test pits. [Au(adp)] |
