Monument record HMG 027 - Late Anglo-Saxon structure identified during evaluation trenching at Brick Kiln Farm (SA) MON

2011: In trench 1 situated to the north of the site, ten post holes were identified, set in three approximately parallel, equally spaced rows. Eight of these post-holes produced finds of 11-12th century date including pottery, lava quern, animal bone and ceramic building material. These post-holes likely form part of a structure. Fragments of Roman tegula were also identified in the post holes along with the Early Medieval material. The quite narrow date range of the pottery suggests that the settlement was relatively short lived. Two large features were identified that could represent extraction pits for the nearby 19th century brick kiln located 300m south west (S1).
