Abstract: |
With the exception of the medieval hedgebank ditches seen in Trench 2, the evaluation did not identify any significant archaeological structures or deposits. The stone/earth bank 504 was presumably originally contemporary with the flanking ditches while later maintenance to the bank had added nineteenth and twentieth century artefacts to its build. This stone/earth bank was extant in the mid-twentieth century although the flanking ditches had perhaps silted up and become lost from view not long after construction in the medieval period. The quantity of medieval pottery from the very limited excavated samples of the ditches in trench 2 (11 sherds in total) does suggest nearby domestic occupation at that time. The unbonded curving wall 519 seen in Trench 1 did not appear on any map but it was identified as a wall extant in the mid-twentieth century which separated an area of garden from the rest of the plot.
