Full Description

Test Pit 18 had approximately 20cm of overburden underlying the turf, with an orangey-brown clay layer directly underneath. A cobbled surface was uncovered at c.40cm, with a notable edge in the north-east section of pit. Recorded and left in situ. Medieval pottery sherds were recovered in every spit between 10-50cm. A mixed group of 30 sherds representing 29 vessels was recovered. The earliest four vessels are probably of mid/late 12th to early/mid 13th century date. (1)
