Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during topsoil stripping and the excavation of footing trenches for a new house and garage. Two Roman villa sites lay in the surrounding area, and several findspots of Roman artefacts had been recorded. A medieval house of high status had been excavated in an adjacent paddock. During the watching brief, a number of features of archaeological interest were recorded, including a ditch, a gully and a possible post-hole which could not be dated, a ditch containing 12th-16th century pottery, two possible hearths, pits containing medieval pottery, and a pit containing 1st-13th century pottery. The Romano-British pottery was very abraded, and was thought to have been residual. Ceramic building material, plaster, mortar, a single prehistoric flint and a fragment of a copper alloy decorated object were also found. It was thought that settlement at the site had been continuous from around the 12th century to the 16th century. [AIP] |
