Full Description
Test Pit 7 had approximately 20cm of overburden underlying the turf, with a pale orangey-brown clay layer underneath. Cobbled surface exposed c. 28-36cm deep, comprising pebbles, cobbles and piece of skerry stone. Animal bones and green-glazed pottery were set within the surface. This was recorded and plastic sheeting was placed above the surface before the pit was backfilled. 36 sherds representing 29 vessels, most of which are of medieval type were recovered from this test pit. 25 of the vessels are of medieval date. The earliest of these is a Beverley 1-type jug of mid/late 12th to early/mid 13th century date. (1)
