Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation in the playground of the school showed that quarrying for clunch took place on the site in the past. Roman finds from one of the quarries suggested a possible earliest date in the Roman period. The presence of worked pieces of clunch in the quarries suggested that the clunch was quarried nearby. This may have indicatd a substantial Roman building in the vicinity, although the finds may have been residual and there were several buildings in the area which used slunch in their construction, including the 13th century church and parts of the school buildings and village hall. Other undated possible structural features were also encountered in the trenches. [Au] |
