Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation recorded the presence of settlement related features. Towards the northern extent of the site, a north to south aligned probable Late Saxon field or plot boundary ditch was flanked at its western extent by at least three undated post holes, one of which was cut by a later pit. The ditch and post holes ran a right angles to an existing track implying, at the latest, a medieval date for this feature. Residual Middle Saxon pottery was also retrieved within this features. The ditch, pit and post holes were sealed by a buried subsoil layer that contained animal bone and medieval pottery, some of which dated to later in the medieval period. It is suggested that the pattern of land use at the northern extent of the site changed at some point during the medieval period. [Au(abr)] |
