Full Description

Features of medieval date in the form of a remnant north-south aligned field system were identified in south-west part of the site, in trenches 6, 10 and 12. A further ditch of probable medieval date was encountered in the south-east corner of the PDA in trench 1. Positively dated medieval features ranged from the eleventh- to fifteenth centuries AD. Two probable pits were identified in trench 10. These lay to the north of an east-west aligned field boundary that contained fourteenth- to fifteenth century pottery. No obvious settlement activity was noted in either area, though the presence of medieval pottery suggests that this should not be entirely ruled out.(1) (information summarised from source)
