Description
Trial trenching. February 2016.
A medieval gully dating from the 13th to 14th centuries was found in trench 5 and layer located east of trench 6 was dated to approximately the late 14th to early 15th centuries. Whilst no post-medieval features were uncovered the presence of residual pottery dating from the 16th to 17th in later features suggests continued activity in the area. The nature of the land use can be determined from these features, however there is clearly no evidence for a structure at this time. <1>
