Monument record BSE 201 - Two possible Late Saxon pits, 3 St Marys Square

2002: Monitoring of footing trenches. The trenches were too narrow to record in detail but they generally consisted of a deep deposit of dark garden loam about 0.8m deep. Pit fill from at least one, possibly two, pits were seen in the north-south aligned trench. In the east west trench a single pit was clearly defined; a single sherd of Thetford ware was recovered from a small sample of the fill within the trench. Animal bone (a horses leg?) was retrieved from the spoil heap but believed to be from this feature (S1).
