December 2000. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundwork for extension at rear of No. 8 All Saints. Context 2.
Recovered fragments of Roman roof tile, sherds of Middle Saxon and Late Saxon, medieval and post medieval pottery and animal bone showing evidence of butchery. This may represent continuous cultivation of an area of colluvial build up over a long period augmented by manuring/dumping. The Roman and Middle Saxon and Late Saxon material may indicate occupation on this site but may have originated from nearby sites such as Weeting Castle where Middle Saxon and Late Saxon features have been excavated and the Roman farmyard at Fengate Farm, Weeting.
No archaeological features were identified and no evidence seen of human burials. This suggests that if the burial seen next door represents a cemetery it probably does not extend in this direction.
