Abstract: |
A trial-trench evaluation revealed two large but shallow eroded features, interpreted as medieval track-ways and possible precursors to nearby Poplar Lane. Their fills produced small amounts of pottery, broadly dated to the 11th-14th centuries. The pottery probably derived from a nearby settlement, recorded during a previous open-area excavation to the north of Poplar Lane. Other significant finds were two silver pennies of Henry III (minted 1251-54) and Edward I (minted 1279-1307). These were found in the topsoil, close to the postulated track-ways. A watching brief had no significant archaeological results but did expose a former field boundary ditch, of post-medieval to modern date. |
