Full Description
September 2013. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of creation of new pond as part of a wider scheme of restoration works along the River Nar.
The excavation of this pond exposed a north-east to south-west aligned ditch that produced no finds but was most likely associated with a post-medieval boundary. On a similar alignment to the to the east of this feature was a compacted deposit of orange sand, gravel, chalk and flints that produced two fragments of medieval/early post-medieval brick. This material was likely to represent the remnants of a bank, the alignment of which appears to have been slightly divergent from the present field boundary.
