Full Description
{1} Trench B was cut to examine a linear hollow showing as an earthwork. A limestone surface was revealed beneath the later features but not further examined. In the north of the trench a single posthole was revealed cutting into natural, from which a single sherd of pottery dating to AD900 at earliest was retrieved. Two ditches below the earthwork feature were revealed, from which pottery dated not earlier than AD 1150 and AD 1100 respectively were recovered from surface cleaning. These may represent earlier enclosure boundaries. The limited pottery assemblage from this trench suggests that occupation was primarily of late Saxon/early medieval date.
