Description
NRHE data transfer:
1971. Trial trenching.
Excavations by W. Rodwell in 1971 following the demolition of a church of England Primary School revealed that most of the site had been levelled in antiquity. Two east-west boundary ditches crossed the site and were of medieval or later date; they still appear on recent maps. <1>
