Abstract: |
A single evaluation trench was excavated which indicated that there was no evidence for human activity at the site before the late medieval/post-medieval period. Natural gravel was reached at a depth of 3m below present ground level. Evidence for activity from the 16th century onwards was recorded in deposits overlying the gravel. The presence of redeposited brickearth suggests that brickearth quarrying may have taken place nearby. Fragments of iron slag and crucible may indicate that iron-smelting was also carried out on or near the site. The construction cut for a subsequently infilled late post-medieval cellar was recorded. |
