Description

The Site is located just to the west and south of St John The Baptist Church, Main St and to the immediate north of Meadow Lane. The objective of this archaeological watching brief was to investigate the archaeological potential of the site, to ensure that any deposits and features, artefacts and ecofacts of archaeological interest, are recorded and interpreted to appropriate standards, to record the ménage area during and after soil stripping. The only archaeological feature observed throughout the area was the prominent medieval earthworks previously recorded. Frequent Roman cbm, predominately; tegula and tesserae were recorded 0.15-0.20m below the current land surface, to the north and north east of the main site area. Mixed in among the cbm was flecks and small fragments of Roman hydraulic lime mortar Opus signinum. A solitary Roman pottery fragment dated to the 2nd c. was recovered from the service run trench located to the extreme south of the Site.
