| Abstract: |
A single hand-excavated trench contained one archaeological feature. This shallow, irregular cut which was most likely to have been of medieval date, was located at the eastern end of the trench. The fills contained a mixture of Saxon and medieval pottery and a small quantity of Roman brick/tile. The feature was overlain by garden soil containing post-medieval finds, as well as very small quantities of residual Bronze Age and medieval material. The function of the feature was not clear, but its irregular profile suggested that it may have been of natural origin, perhaps a tree hole. The feature produced metal-working slag in sufficient quantity to suggest that it was not entirely residual. The single environmental sample taken from the feature produced a diverse and well-preserved assemblage of charred plant remains. The mixture of prehistoric, Roman and Saxon material recovered may have indicated the presence of a multi-period settlement in the vicinity, although it was clear that all of the pre-medieval artefacts found found were residual in later contexts.
