Abstract: |
Three targeted areas were excavated, focusing on features revealed during previous evaluation. The site appears to show two main phases. An initial occupation is testified in the southern part, in the form of seemingly unorganized post holes which must form a structure of some kind, not readily defined, and a few pits, providing very rare pottery. While this pottery mainly appears to be early Saxon, it cannot be ruled out that it is Iron Age. A pit in the northern area, containing the remains of a horse and a rabbit skeleton, is probably Medieval or later. All three zones were crossed by ditches and gullies of various orientations that confirm some activity (livestock management? field partition? drainage?) during Medieval and post-Medieval times. |
