Type and Period
Description
March 2020. Trial trenching.
Two small linear features and two pits were revealed during the evaluation. All contained pottery and CBM dated to the late post-medieval or modern periods. The low density of features and the absence of evidence for earlier activity suggests the site lay outside the Saxon and medieval settlement and the area has remained undeveloped since, perhaps used as an orchard or bowling green.
