NHER 61101 (Monument record) - Medieval and undated ditches and multi-period finds

October-November 2009 and March 2010. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of tree pits and other groundworks associated with construction of new car and coach park.
Three ditches were recorded in the eastern area of the site, aligned perpendicular or parallel to the modern field system suggesting a medieval or later date. Two of the ditches contained no dating evidence. The third produced medieval pottery and is therefore probably of medieval or later date. A small amount of Roman pottery recovere from this feature was probably residual. Finds recovered from unstratified contexts included prehistoric worked flints, a Roman coin (330-340 AD) and medieval to post-medieval metal objects (including a post-medieval silver thimble).
A total of 48 tree pits were also excavated but contained no archaeological deposits.
