Full Description
2020: A total of eight trenches were excavated with archaeological deposits, comprising twelve possible postholes, ten pits and twenty-one ditches, recorded in seven of those. A relatively large assemblage of pottery suggested was collected from a number of features showing continuing domestic occupation from the early medieval through to the post medieval periods with small quantities of residual prehistoric worked flint also recovered from these later features. The incidence of archaeological features was greater closer to the road with occupation layers and possible surfaces present closest to the road, possible structures and backyard rubbish pits giving way to less dense ditches possibly demarcating field boundaries further to the south.
