Summary

An archaeological evaluation prior to redevelopment for housing identified 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. Middle Saxon pottery was also found in the ditch suggesting there was also activity nearby at this period.
