Full Description
Two partially exposed pits were exposed in the trench, along the western baulk edge of the
trench and in close proximity to each other.
The larger of the two, and the southernmost pit was irregular sub-rectangular in plan, had moderately sloped sides and a generally flat base. It contained a single fill which produced two sherds of 18th–19th century.
Less than 1m to the northwest was another pit. This was sub-rectangular in plan, with near vertical sides and a flat base. This feature also contained a single fill which produced two sherds of pottery, also dating from the later post-medieval period, and a fragment of brick, of a fabric commonly used between the 14th–18th century.
The fills of these features are described as having moderate – firm compaction, which would suggest they have not previously been disturbed and that this dating is secure, however these pits also lie in the area previously excavated at the corner of the Roman enclosure, therefore the dating may be the result of backfilling 20th century excavated features.
