Medieval to post-medieval features at land South of Brent Hall Road, Finchingfield (EHER 80056)

Ditches, postholes and pits were concentrated in the east of the site and attributed a loose late medieval to post-medieval date from two ceramic finds.

September 2022. Trial trenching. Features including ditches, postholes and pits were revealed in Trenches 4, 8, 10 and 11 and were concentrated in the east of the site. Postholes in Trench 4 formed a roughly north – south alignment. A single sherd of 12th to 14th century pottery was obtained from the posthole in Trench 8, however it is thought this was most likely residual. A single fragment of late medieval/post-medieval CBM was recovered from a ditch in Trench 11. The finds have been used to date these features, but the overall scarcity of dating material on the site has lead to only a very loose date attribution. <1>
