NHER 52720 (Find Spot record) - Medieval and post-medieval pottery sherds, Blackhall Farm

2008. Test-pitting.
A range of medieval and post-medieval pottery types were excavated from test pit two. Early Medieval Sandy Ware, Hedingham Ware, Grimston Ware and Late Medieval Ware were mixed in contexts one, three and five. The German Stoneware, Glazed Red Earthenware and Staffordshire Manganese Ware were identified from contexts three to six only. Victorian pottery was recovered from all contexts that suggest a lot of disturbance during the 19th century.
Much like test pit one (NHER 52719), this site appears to be part of the medieval expansion of Carleton Rode during the medieval period into the north west of the village, which is also seen to continue through the later medieval into the post Black Death. The peak of activity however, was during the 19th century and a lot of modern finds were recovered from every context.
