Abstract: |
An evaluation followed by an area excavation to the rear of No. 69 Woodstock Road produced features and finds of medieval and post-medieval date. The earliest activity on the site consisted of a series of pits which produced pottery assemblages dating to the late 11th or 12th century. Though these pits were originally dug to extract gravel, they were used subsequently for the disposal of domestic rubbish. There is little evidence for medieval activity in the vicinity of the site which appears to have been open farmland well into the post-medieval period. However, the presence of medieval pottery and pits indicates that at least one dwelling, possibly a farmstead, occupied the site. In 1648 the Horse and Jockey public house was built on the Woodstock Road frontage, and the subsequent history of the site is linked to the development of the public house and the adjoining outhouses. The recorded evidence includes several wall footings and a substantial stone-built cess pit which had fallen into disuse by the end of the 19th century. |
