Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during the excavation of foundations and drain runs for the construction of a 16m by 29.4 m building. An earlier evaluation had revealed a number of medieval and post-medieval ditches and pits across the site. The watching brief revealed a ditch or pit which may have been associated with a north-east - south-west aligned gully found during the earlier evaluation. The results from all the phases of field work showed a small concentration of features of Norman date (1140-1300) in the south-eastern area fo the site. The 2 ditches and 2 pits were probably field ditches and pits, dug on land which was no doubt in close proximity to habitation. This phase of activity represented the earliest known origins of the village of Norwood Green. In the south-west corner of the site a probable butt-ended ditch was revealed which produced pottery dating 1270-1400. A soakaway, backfilled 1760-1830), and two wells suggested, along with an 18th century drain and ceramic building material revealed in the evaluation, the presence of a post-medieval building on or very close to the site. This was countermanded by map evidence collated in the first evaluation. The watching brief also revealed three features possibly related to brickearth quarrying. [Au(adp)] |
