Abstract: |
Eight trenches were excavated on the site of a proposed chalet development at the Tydd St Giles Golf and Country Club. The site lies to the north of previous finds of medieval remains located on the site of the present clubhouse. The current evaluation revealed no evidence of archaeological activity. It therefore seems likely that the focus of medieval settlement lay further to the south, in the areas immediately adjacent to Kirkgate (believed to have originated as a medieval drove). Deeper excavations carried out as part of the project resulted in a useful record of the sequence of alluvial deposits in the area. Peat (probably deposited in the Iron Age) was revealed at 3m below existing ground level, overlain by layers of silt. The silt was cut by a system of saltwater creeks, which were then filled and buried by deposits of clay. There were no portable finds from the site. |
