Full Description
The only stray finds of interest in the upcast spoil were a worn Victorian silver groat (4d) dated 1859 and a large rim pottery sherd which is heavily burnt and sooted externally. The rim is thick and extends internally and the lower part of the sherd is also inturned indicating that the sherd is from a shallow vessel, it seems likely that the fragment is from a late medieval or early post-medieval redware dripping pan or skillet, most likely dating later 15th to early 17th centuries.
The majority of other finds seen in the upcast topsoil and in the top of the subsoil comprised small fragments of later Post medieval brick and tile, window glass fragments of recent date, pottery sherds of early to mid-20th century date.
