Abstract: |
The site is located to the east of Shrubbery Farm and on the southern edge of the modern village. The geological stratum is glacial till. Six worked flints of later prehistoric date and a small sherd of flint-tempered prehistoric pottery were recovered as residual finds in later deposits. Seven fragments of Late Saxon pottery were found in a post-medieval ploughsoil and a Middle Saxon copper-alloy ansate brooch was found in the topsoil. The earliest clear evidence for activity on the site is from the medieval period, principally the 12th-14th centuries. Several ditches produced small amounts of domestic pottery and other artefacts suggesting that there was occupation on or close to the site: A substantial north-south ditch is interpreted as a boundary at the rear of one or more properties (farms or crofts) that fronted on Hessett Green, to the west of the site. Other ditches to the east of the boundary ditch are interpreted as boundary / drainage features associated with a medieval field system. |
