A medieval pit and ditch were identified at 107-113 Sturry Road and Parham Close, Canterbury during an evaluation in 2016.
The pit was sub-circular in form and measured 48cm in width and 18cm in depth. Two early medieval-medieval Canterbury sandy ware pottery sherds dating from around c.1150-1200/1250 AD were recovered from the fill of the pit.
The ditch comprised a linear feature containing five pottery sherds comprising "one sherd of early medieval-medieval Canterbury shell-tempered ware (c.1175-1225/1250 AD). Two medieval Canterbury Tyler Hill shell-dusted sandy ware (c.1200-1225/1250) both from the same vessel and two medieval Canterbury Tyler Hill shell-dusted sandy ware (c.1200-1225/1250), again both from the same vessel" (from the original report, 1). Three of the vessels represented were heavily soot-blackened and demonstrated evidence of having been used to boil water - as elements of its interior surface had leached. (1)
