Abstract:
Three trial trenches were opened in advance of proposed development. Trench 1, running close to the street front, revealed several features of undetermined date, along with one medieval feature, and the remains of what appeared to be a post-medieval clunch-built cellar or foundation. Trench 2, on the south west side of the site, revealed extensive post-medieval disturbance, mainly from the 19th and 20th centuries, and probably the result of gravel extraction. Trench 3, on the north east edge of the site, revealed a number of features of Saxo-Norman date, dominated by a slot running NNW-SSE, possibly representing a substantial building. Also uncovered was a pit of probable Bronze Age date. Although this suggested that the western part of the site might have been severely truncated, along with the area within the footprint of the former pub, the archaeological preservation of possibly extensive Saxo-Norman remains on the north-eastern part of site was extremely good.
