Monument record CSM 030 - Land East of Days Road, Capel St. Mary, medieval (Med)

Following fieldwalking, evaluation trenching identified numerous medieval features, comprising pits, ditches and post holes in the northern part of the site (S1).
Excavations revealed a multi-period site with four main phases of occupation dating to the Late Bronze Age, the Middle Iron Age, the Early Roman period and the 12th-14th century AD. The majority of the archaeological features excavated belonged to the 12th-14th century AD and appear to represent a substantial, and potentially relatively wealthy, farmstead. The remains of up to five structures including an impressive aisled building, possibly a hall, were excavated. Other features included a stone/flint lined well, a large number of pits and post holes, quarries, possible ovens/kilns, cobbled surfaces and ditches representing a number of phases of land division (S2).
