Full Description

Test Pit 6 had approximately 20cm of overburden underlying the turf, with a brown clay layer directly underneath. This became an orangey-red clay with scattered medium-sized pebble inclusions at approximately 40cm deep. The clay continued beyond a depth of 60cm, and was deemed to be natural. Finds included several sherds of pot. 32 sherds, each representing a separate vessel, were recovered from this test pit. The group is mixed and includes pottery of Saxo-Norman to early modern
date. (1)
