Abstract: |
The watching brief monitored topsoil stripping and the excavation of foundation trenches for five dwellings. The development site lay close to the medieval core of the village, best represented by the extant church of St. Leonard. Medieval pottery had also been found close to the site. The investigation identified a clustering of post holes and pits in the centre of the site. Many of these remained undated due to a lack of artefactual material although some were of late Saxon/medieval period. A medieval ditch was also recorded, as were a number of post-medieval features, mainly pits. Prehistoric flints and Romano-British pottery were the earliest artefacts retrieved but were residual in nature. Late Saxon and medieval pottery was the most common category found and indicated a continued presence at the site from the 11th to the 15th centuries. Other finds retrieved during the investigation comprised post-medieval pottery, glass, slag, brick/tile, clay pipe and animal bone. [Au(abr)] |
