Abstract: |
ST 457531. At Cheddar, site of the palace of late Saxon and early medieval kings of England, 0.8ha were excavated to reveal buildings of mainly 9th to 14th century date. Residual Roman material was present in some quantity, but the earliest complex of structures (hall and ancillaries) may date to 9th century. The next phase (hall, chapel, ?fowl-house, elaborate approach) is confidently identified with 10th century documentary references. In 11th century the hall was modified and the chapel rebuilt on a larger scale. Rebuildings followed for Henry I and II, John, and the eventual episcopal owners. Many specialist contributions: coins, Roman, Saxon and medieval pottery (including petrographic analysis), metalwork, soils/silting, medieval bell-casting pit human and animal bones, and mollusca.
