Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken in prior to development of residential housing. This excavation demonstrated a fairly intense sequence of horticultural activity in the post-medieval period. This sealed a large east-west ditch whose dimensions of over 4m x 2m suggested that it was of some importance in the medieval period. A lack of associated occupation material could suggest that it did not lie in the immediate vicinity of human habitation (or waste was disposed of elsewhere). Pre-medieval activity was represented by occassional Roman building debris, coins, dress pins and other artefacts. A number of flint-packed post-holes which contained 1st century pottery and clay oven material reinforced the the possiblility that a settlement may have been present nearby. [AIP] |
