Full Description

A single medieval pit of early to mid 14th-century date was identified on the central-western side of the site.

Pottery from this feature suggests an early to mid 14th-century date.

This feature appeared to have been infilled via both natural and human processes and contained a sequence of five fills: a primary clay deposit and a lighter clay, both derived from natural in-washing or silting. Above this was a well sorted clay deposit containing pottery. Above this was a small deposit of clay-silt material, containing medieval pottery, butchered animal bone and tile that appeared to represent a dump of domestic material. The upper fill comprised a redeposited dump of clay devoid of finds. The pit was sealed by c. 0.30m of red-brown topsoil containing residual medieval pottery and late 19th to mid 20th material.
