Abstract: |
Geophysical survey had identified the remains of a medieval open field system and a number of anomalies of possible archaeological significance. Excavation demonstrated that the majority of these anomalies were caused by variations in the glacial clays and silts, although at the northern end of the site a large pit containing early/middle Saxon pottery and animal bone was encountered, and one of the curvilinear anomalies in the same trench was shown to be a small gully that may be of the same date. The medieval field system was heavily denuded and furrows were only clearly identified in one trench. |
