Full Description
A concentration of medieval features was located in Trenches 90, 91 and 92 in Area A South. Ditch [4033] ran on a north-south alignment across Trench 92 with a probable lightweight postbuilt structure, possibly a barn, to the east of it and pitting activity to the west. Medieval peg tile and pottery were found within the features. This location places the medieval activity close to the location of Chattenden Farm to the south, a complex suggested in the Desk Based Assessment as possibly originating in the medieval period as the local Manor or estate centre. The results of the evaluation trenching would appear to confirm this area as being a focus of medieval activity (1).
