Description
2001. Excavation.
Excavations revealed a small enclosed farmstead that has been previously dated to the late 12th-13th century. The main features of the site were two sub-rectangular enclosures, one of which contained a building, and a series of agricultural ditches. The site appears to contain a single phase of activity, with a small scatter of pottery being the only evidence for earlier or later activity. <1>
