Abstract: |
An intermittent archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the construction of four detached houses in response to a condition upon planning permission. Remains of an early to middle Saxon settlement site were identified. A group of post holes and pits located in Plot 2 contained a large assemblage of 5th to 7th century pottery and animal bone. It was suggested that these remains represented the north-east corner of the settlement. A group of late Saxon features, including pits and postholes were identified in Plot 3. Although these features confirmed activity close to the church during this period, they did not appear to represent settlement remains. Only one feature of medieval date was located and only a sparse scatter of pottery was recovered, suggesting that the core of the settlement lay elsewhere during this period. A single sherd of Roman pottery and a piece of tile were also recovered. These were the first artefacts of this period from the centre of the settlement and probably indicated a Roman site in the immediate vicinity. [Au(adp)] |
