Full Description
November 2000. Trial Trench.
Evaluation on site of proposed residential development.
Trench revealed a ditch with Middle Saxon pottery and a number of Late Saxon features, including a square pit, post holes, two gullies and a ditch. Burnt daub found in the pit suggests there was a wattle and daub building nearby.
