Full Description
{1} Within the north-west part of Area 2 was a compacted surface or shallow hollow of trampled subsoil of c. 13 sq m, subrectangular in plan and orientated north-west to south-east. It extended beyond the northern edge of the area. The hollow contained a fill with a large quantitiy of C13th pottery, many animal bone fragments and the remains of a pair of decorated bone tweezers. Patches of burning were observed and a single 0.3m deep posthole contained ironstone packing. The western edge of the hollow was defined by a very shallow linear feature 3.5m long x 0.90m wide.
A large pit was partially revealed but extended under the standing building at the west end of the excavation area. Its fill produced a mixed assemblage of pottery dating from the C12th-C15th and some bone fragments.
