Abstract: |
Scattered pits are dated to the late Saxon period, 10th-11th centuries, and one contained a dump of fired clay lining and charred seeds from a drying oven. These pits may have been contemporary with the establishment of a boundary ditch, although the ditch was recut and may have been in use until the 15th century. Further pits and gullies were in use between the 12th and mid-15th centuries, and pottery dating to the 12th and 13th centuries had also accumulated in a group irregular natural hollows. Further ditches, pits and the remains of a rectangular stone building were associated with post-medieval pottery. Other archaeological features may have been removed by a combination of late medieval or post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, and landscaping and groundwork associated with the former university campus. |
