Full Description
Archaeological work prior to redevelopment of former village hall site.
9-10 October 2000. Trial Trenching.
Excavation of two evaluation trenches, one in each of the two proposed building plots. This work revealed evidence of Early Saxon/Middle Saxon to Late Saxon occupation and trade. A residual prehistoric flint of possible Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date was recovered.
19-25 October 2000. Excavation.
Topsoil stripped and footing trenches excavated. No further features were identified, although a number of additional finds were recovered. These finds included three prehistoric flints, one of which may also be Mesolithic or Early Neolithic in date.
