Abstract: |
Archenfield Archaeology carried out and excavation and monitoring work in High Street, Much Wenlock. The area of the site was approximately 5,700metres. The site had previously had two phases of evaluation trenching in 2000 (Horton) and 2006 (Lewis), but no important archaeological features were uncovered, due to site truncation. Evidence uncovered during the excavation included pits and ditches with pottery dating to the 12-14th centuries. Other features included a cereal drying oven dating to 12-14th century. Pottery dating suggests that the site was abandoned in the later medieval period. Post-medieval archaeology included a pipe makers kiln with clay pipe bowls marked by John Roberts, who was making pipes in the late 16th and early 17th century was also discovered. This had been truncated by a later telephone exchange. |
