Abstract: |
The excavation revealed the presence of a number of archaeological features, predominantly comprising, ditches, gullies, scoops and postholes, but also including the substantial remains of several phases of post-medieval vicarage. The earliest activity on the site was in the Mesolithic period, represented by a small quantity of flint tools and flint waste found re-deposited in later features. A small quantity of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery and a few amorphous features provided slight evidence for settlement during this period, whereas a slightly larger amount of pottery, a ditch/gully and several shallow pits possibly indicated more substantial development in the Late Iron Age. Romano-British occupation was attested by a large enclosure ditch, various gullies, shallow pits, ditches and scoops. No Anglo-Saxon settlement evidence was found. The earliest medieval activity was assigned to the 11th-12th century. This was represented by two pairs of substantial ditches along the north edge of the site which possibly defined a trackway. If that interpretation was correct then it suggested early medieval settlement took a linear rather than nucleated form. Further development of the site was noted throughout the medieval period. A vicarage had stood on the site since c.1279. The vicarage was expanded throughout the post-medieval period, this process was recorded. [AIP] |
