| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the construction of a single-storey building. A quantity of 17th century pottery, including wasters, had previously been discovered in the garden of the house and medieval pottery wasters collected from a field nearby. The watching brief produced a small amount of 17th century pottery with clear similarities to that previously recovered, and one waster. No further examples of the distinctive stamped ware previously characterising the site were recovered. One piece of heavily overfired brick/tile and a partially glazed brick, which may have originated from the structure of a kiln, were recorded. The absence of pottery pre-dating the 17th century at The Warren suggested that the Potter Row industry was of two distinct phases, medieval and 17th century, and that there may have been no continuity between them. Nearly all of the finds came from the infill of a shallow feature which may have been a clay pit. Only the northern edge of this feature was seen, but it appeared to mark the limit of the site since beyond it lay undisturbed ground. The 17th century site may therefore have fronted the existing road with clay pits behind. [Au(abr)] |
