Description
February-March 1995. Trial trenching.
An archaeological evaluation was carried out to the rear of The George Public House using four trial trenches. On the west of the site there is a considerable depth of post-medieval remains, principally 18th-20th century, down to 1.5m below present ground. The creation of deep soil layers on the site may be cultivation or top soil whose depth has been exaggerated by gardening activity. Features included pits and a ditch. Finds included pottery, tile, brick, claypipe fragments, glass bottle fragments and animal bone. <1>
