Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Mr and Mrs C Wincote ahead of the construction of a new house on land north of Goffes School House in the village of Saham Toney. The site lay in an area of high archaeological potential close to the historic core of the village. A gully, a post-hole, a possible beam slot/gully and a shallow pit, all of probable post-medieval date, were observed during the evaluation and a pit/tree hole and a fence-line consisting of five post-holes, of more recent 19th- to 20th- century date were also recorded. A very worn Roman coin and a few stray sherds of Roman and medieval pottery were found within the topsoil, indicative of the background historical activity in the village. The lack of earlier archaeological features suggests that this side of the road was not settled and was probably parkland from the medieval period onwards. |
