Full Description
October 2001. Trial Trench.
Evaluation carried out in advance of housing development.
Most archaeological features revealed date to the early post-medieval period and comprised five linear ditches and two pits. The ditches probably served as property boundaries whilst at least one pit was probably used for rubbish disposal. No features or deposits associated with the Benedictine Priory (NHER 10725), which stood close by, were recorded.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).
