Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site, which lay on the platform of a medieval moated site. Previous excavation of the platform following the demolition of a Tudor house in 1962 had revealed Samian pottery and Roman coins. Prehistoric pottery, Bronze Age metalwork and Roman artefacts had been recovered in the surrounding area, and a possible Roman road ran to the west. During the evaluation, two pits containing medieval pottery were recorded. One of these also contained slate and was probably modern, whilst the second was probably of medieval date. Modern disturbance from the most recent dredging of the moat was noted, and a previously unknown cast iron water pipe was located. [AIP] |
