Abstract: |
The watching brief revealed various structural and cut features. The first of these were revealed during the reduction of ground level and consisted of a metalled path dating from the 13th century. An area of flint cobbling laid dry, which may have been part of a wall foundation, was also dated to the 13th century. A flint wall bonded with yellowish mortar that ran perpendicular to, and resembled the wall found in an earlier evaluation was also found. Various features were also revealed during the hand excavation of the foundation trenches. These features were probably either pits or ditches, but, due to the width of the foundation trenches, their exact nature was difficult to determine. Most of these dated to the 13th century. Also revealed in section were two layers that were partially removed during machining. The conclusion drawn from the pottery evidence was that there had been continuous occupation of the site from the early 13th century. [Au] |
