Abstract: |
Excavation and recording on land to the rear of Stokenham House, Stokenham (SX 80684278) exposed a number of archaeological features. Principal amongst these was a large curvilinear ditch containing pottery dating to the late 13th or 14th century. This ditch is likely to represent part of a large enclosure on, or near to, the site of Stokenham House. The ditch cut through a sequence of smaller, earlier ditches, also of medieval date. A series of postholes, evenly-spaced and forming an alignment along the inner edge of the ditch, represent the only potential evidence for contemporary activity within the enclosure. Further ditches, all of probable medieval date were identified, but their relationship with the ditch could not be established. |
