Medieval settlement at land at Station Road (EHER 82068)

The 2013 archaeological evaluation found evidence of a medieval settlement.

2013. Trial trenching. The evaluation has revealed that archaeological features survive on site mostly in the form of ditches and gullies with a small number of pits present. One cremation deposit was undated, but presumably of prehistoric or Roman date. The features are all to be found on the western side of the site. Several of the features contained pottery dating evidence with the medieval period. The medieval period is the clearest represented with a cluster of features comprising both pits and linear features in trench 22 on the western site of the site with other linear features lying further to the north and east. This appears to indicate an area of activity, though whether this is an occupation site or a working area associated with agriculture or forestry, is not clear. <1>
