Full Description
March 2004. Trial Trench.
Evaluation of proposed development site. Contexts 1-18 used.
Shallow medieval pit containing seven medieval pottery sherds of the same fabric.
The absence of any burials or other features of Anglo-Saxon date provides excellent negative evidence that the nearby Early Saxon cemetery (NHER 1125) did not extend north into this area.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).
