Abstract: |
The evaluation was commissioned by Turnberry Planning Ltd on behalf of the client Corpus Christi College. The evaluation comprised the hand excavation of a test pit in the area of the proposed basement within the Garden Quad. No evidence for the early Medieval structures associated with Corpus Christi College or of the conjectured Saxon burh ditch were uncovered. Established was a sequence of dumped layers of soil and mortar which are clearly mixed given the residual pottery in the lowest deposits. The earliest layers appear to date from the Medieval period, perhaps the 13th century, though earlier ceramics mixed in suggest early Medieval activity elsewhere. The sequence of deposits continues through to the 16th or 17th century and confirms the sequence identified in the auger holes. The only feature found was probably an 18th century path. |
