Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed extensive remains of medieval occupation, although no direct evidence of structures. The alignment of features appeared not to relate to the present street frontage onto West End, but rather to a routeway or boundary to the north. The majority of features contained pottery dating to 1150-1350, although three features in the north-eastern part dated to 900-1150 and one in the northern part to 800-900. A small number of Roman and early to middle Saxon sherds were also recovered. In general, the occupation appeared to be domestic in character, although a relatively small quantity of smithing slag was also found in several features across the site. One unusual find was a late medieval drain made up of Ely ware pottery drainpipes. [Au] |
