Abstract: |
The excavation of Area C uncovered remains of Iron Age, Roman and post-medieval date. Iron Age activity was restricted to a substantial ditch and Roman activity seems very much a continuation of this, albeit related to the newly founded building to the west, comprising ditches, pits and plough furrows or planting trenches. A possible clay chest may have alluded to a potential pottery in the vicinity, though no other evidence for production was found. Post-medieval remains on the site were dominated by those of a large rectangular building, cut into the subsoil of the site and initially constructed of timber but later replaced with masonry. A handful of post holes attested to the presence of timber structures on the site, though little sense could be made of these features and were likely to represent structures extending beyond the limits of excavation. The building had been demolished and heavily robbed by the mid-18th century and was subsequently sealed by the topsoil of the site. The watching brief mainly identified areas where occupation was absent. [Au(abr)] |
