Description
August to December 2020. Trial trench and excavation.
The site showed later occupation, with medieval remains associated with Copt Hall Farm, a farmstead noted on historic mapping from at least the 19th century. Based on the results of the trial trenching, it was decided that the area surrounding the farmstead would remain preserved in situ. This limited recovery of medieval evidence further confirms medieval presence concentrated towards Copt Hall Farm in the southwest. <1>
