| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a new dwelling. A large assemblage of Late Mesolithic worked flint had been recovered from a site 100m to the north-east, and evidence of Roman occupation had been found at a number of sites within 1km of the proposal area. The Priory of St. Denys had been founded in the area before 1127, on land which had once formed part of a late Saxon estate. The proposal site was known to have been occupied by a house in 1933, but had been empty since the site had been cleared following bomb damage during World War II. During the evaluation, a drain containing a fragment of medieval or later tile, a pit or post-hole, a ditch and two unidentified features were revealed. The drain had been lined with clay and limestone blocks, a number of which had been roughly dressed and were likely to have represented re-used masonry robbed from the buildings of the priory. The ditch contained tile fragments and four sherds of medieval pottery, as well as a fragment of dressed stone. It was concluded that the ditch may have represented a boundary depicted on a map of 1658. [AIP] |
