May 2008. Trial Trendhing.
Evaluation of proposed development site. Contexts 1-40 used.
Three parallel ditches were identified in the south-eastern corner of the site. One of these ditches is undated, but the other two are of probable medieval date, as they contained fragments of 12th to late 13th century pottery. Fragments of Roman pottery and a brick or tegula were also recovered with the medieval material, suggesting 2nd - 4th century activity somewhere nearby. The only other evidence for human activity in this area was a single undated pit recorded in the southern corner of the site, which may be quite recent in origin.
