Abstract: |
During archaeological monitoring of the excavation of the footprint for a new dwelling at land to the side of 56 Southover High Street, a ditch dating to the late Saxon period was discovered. A possible post hole was located to the east of the ditch, and two further irregular shaped features were discovered to the west of the ditch, these were interpreted as root disturbance. Surprisingly, only a single piece of Medieval pottery was recovered from the excavations. All the rest of the pottery dated to the late Post Medieval period except for two sherds dating to the early Post Medieval. The presence of a late Saxon ditch hints at settlement on Southover High Street at a much earlier date then previously thought. |
