Monument record TR 04 SW 454 - Possible medieval Occupation Site, Sevington West
Summary
During archaeological evaluation trenching on the site in 2012, 101 trenches were excavated across the site. 10 of these trenches revealed archaeological remains. Trench 145 contained the densest number of archaeological features, as well as a number of small finds. In total 3 probable walls were uncovered (one robbed out) possibly representing a structure. 4 small ditches/gullies were also found; all of which produced a small amount of medieval pottery and animal bone. The ceramics suggest a tentative 12th-14th Century date. A silver coin found in the topsoil dates to the late 12th or 13th Century, supporting the dating of the features. The other finds from the trench included a possible iron spear head and a single piece of Romano-British box flue tile.
