Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was carried out during groundwork associated with the creation of an all-weather playing surface. Groundwork revealed the remains of a series of bedding trenches (possibly of a type used in viticulture). These were of probable Roman date. Interestingly, evidence for an internal trackway was recorded within the series of bedding trenches. A large medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, and two post-medieval sunken featured buildings were also revealed. The medieval/post-medieval ditch was probably related to an enclosure to the south. The two sunken features building were unusual, being of a building type that was largely obsolete by the post-medieval period. Comparison with other known examples suggests they were probably used for a specific type of activity , such as weaving or cheese-making. [Au(abr)] |
