Full Description

Test Pit 14 had approximately 10cm of overburden underlying the turf, with a red clay layer directly underneath. The pit was tested to a depth of 1m with no change. Again, artefacts were mixed, with Medieval pottery recovered at c.30cm, and only pieces of brick from 40-50cm. No artefacts were recovered from 50-100cm. Only three sherds of pottery were recovered; one was a fairly large and fresh sherd from a Light-bodied Nottingham Green Glazed ware jug of 13th century date. (1)
