Full Description
September-November 2019. Excavation and Watching Brief.
A small excavation at the site of a new cellar adjacent to The Old Rectory revealed a ditch of probable medieval date and three undated discrete features. The ditch was aligned north-north-east to south-south-west and contained several medieval pottery sherds. A possible pottery waster sherd of Roman or Late Saxon date was also recovered from this ditch. The discrete features comprised a pit, a pit or gully terminus and a small pit or post-hole – none of which produced any finds.
A watching brief maintained during various subsequent groundworks on the site recorded little of archaeological interest. The only feature observed was a possible west-north-west to east-south-east aligned ditch seen in the base of a soakaway dug to the east of the house. No finds were recovered.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
