Evidence of Saxon occupation found beneath the floor of the later medieval brewhouse of Christ Church. large number of stake holes were found which did not form any discernable structural pattern. Although they could be of Saxon date it is also possible that they are scaffolding associated with the construction of the brewhouse. Also found were a sequence of intercutting pits and a patchy land surface. Nearly all of the pits produced large amounts of charcoal., daub, iron slag and animal bone. additional finds included a copper alloy strap end, a lead coin of King Offa and a part of a late Saxon double sided antler comb.
