Abstract: |
Fieldwork in advance of housing development identified an area of medieval settlement comprising plot boundary ditches, two wells and chalk quarry, rubbish and cess pits. The associated pottery indicates a date range spanning the late 12th to mid 14th century, while the animal bone and environmental remains give some indications of the medieval economy and diet of the inhabitants. Two complete 13th-century green-glazed Hedingham ware jugs were found in one of the wells. The prevalence of jugs over cooking and storage vessels suggests moderately high status. The excavation was small relative to the large-scale excavations within the Saxon and medieval settlement at Church End/ Neath Farm, Cherry Hinton, 800m to the north-west. However, it provides a valuable insight into the character and chronology of medieval occupation in this part of the village, close to the High Street, which has seen far less archaeological investigation. |
