Full Description
October 2013. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of residential dwelling.
This work revealed medieval features in the form of three shallow remnants of ditches and a pit. The ditches appear to be part of a medieval field system, either acting as field or plot boundaries defining occupation within the medieval settlement core. Pottery sherds collected from these features include fragments of storage or cooking vessels dating from the 12th to 14th centuries.
Other finds from the site include a single prehistoric worked flint, probably a modified early Neolithic end scraper, a single burnt flint and three fragments of metalworking debris including ironworking slag and two pieces of bronze casting waste.
See report (S1) for further information.
