| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site within Christchurch, a town with Saxon and medieval origins. Documentary research revealed that a portion of the site was likely to have devolved from the manor held by an Augustinian priory, founded in the town in 1150. Previous archaeological work in the vicinity of the site had established the line of the burghal defences and had located medieval activity and Roman artefacts. During the evaluation, a medieval pit and a possible ditch were recorded, both of which contained 13th or 14th century pottery. Animal bones, worked and burnt flints and a small amount of post-medieval pottery were also found. [AIP] |
