Abstract: |
Thirty-nine evaluation trenches were excavated across the 11.28ha site, of which sixteen contained archaeological remains, largely concentrated in the southern part of the site. Previous evaluation identified the remains of a possible ditched enclosure containing a probable pottery kiln of Early Roman date and a possible sunken-featured building, two pits and a tree throw pit, all dating to the Saxon period. A number of features, generally undated, were encountered in the south-east and may be associated with the Early Roman land use activity. A single pit contained a small quantity of pottery of probably high medieval date. The presence of an undated ditch in close proximity of the Saxon sunken-featured building towards the west may be associated with this phase. The remaining features recorded were undated or post-medieval/modern in date. Several pits and a possible layer were recorded in the far north of the site; however, the lack of finds recovered suggests that there is not a focus of activity in this area. A small number of post-medieval/modern ditches, indicative of agricultural land use, were encountered across the site, several of which correspond with field boundaries depicted on historic maps. |
