Test Pit 20 had approximately 20cm of overburden underlying the turf, with a mid-brown loam layer directly underneath that contained occasional flecks of charcoal. This became an orangey-red clay layer at c.40cm, which was tested to a depth of c.80cm with no change. A cobbled feature was noted at c.32-37cm deep. Artefacts recovered included pottery, animal bone, CBM, clay pipe and pieces of flint. A silver coin was recovered at c.20cm. A mixed group of 43 sherds representing 41 vessels was recovered. This was the only test pit to produced Roman pottery, a single sherd from a small jar or beaker with a curved rim. Five Nottingham-type jugs are of 13th to early/mid 14th century date as is the tiny sherd of Southwell-type Dull Oxidised Medieval Glazed ware. (1)
