Full Description

Surface scatter of late Med and very early PMed pottery found when gardening. A minor trial excavation was undertaken by the landowner (a potter) with the advice and assistance of Mike Hardy and Gilbert Burroughes. Excavation circa 4m x 4m recovered very large quantities of kiln wasters and fragments of kiln materials, notably dome. On the N side of the trench an E-W ditch circa 1m deep was excavated and found to contain large quantities of kiln wasters. The ditch runs parallel to the road and has been interpreted as the green edge ditch by the excavators. Pottery is characteristic of Waveney Valley late Med wares but there were rather larger quantities of internally glazed vessels and several sherds of 'Tudor Green' type glazes which indicate some continuity into the PMed period (S1).
Also Med.
