[TL 1860]. The Late Saxon settlement on the eastern edge of the town, known since 1929-32, again came under threat in 1961. The excavation showed that much of the area had already been destroyed by late features (to be reported) but it revealed at least one large and complex Late Saxon timber building and traces of several more plus ditches, trenches, post-holes and pits. None of the hut-like pits of the 1929-32 excavation appeared, but finds from the two areas are similar in character and date. The settlement covered perhaps as much as 8ha. Pottery, stone and metal objects are catalogued and fit readily into the local context. Au(abr)
