Type and Period
Description
October 2024. Trial trenching.
A former post-medieval boundary depicted on the 1888 Ordnance Survey map ran east to west across the site. This was recorded as a ditch in Trenches 8, 16 and 17. The pits and post holes recorded in Trenches 12, 14 and 16 in the east of the site could not be dated from the available evidence, but they were probably of post-medieval to modern date. Pit 106 in Trench 1 was
also dated to the post-medieval period because ceramic building material of this date was recovered from its fill. <1>
