Abstract:The remains of a medieval farmstead were excavated following the identification of an area of archaeological interest during a large-scale evaluation of the route of the proposed bypass. A range of features including enclosure ditches, pits and post-holes were recorded. Finds included medieval pottery, animal bone, tile, brick, burnt clay, metalwork, ironworking slag, geological material and glass. Study of the pottery suggests that the site was occupied from the late twelfth/early thirteenth century to the mid-fourteenth century, although a few finds indicate some later activity.
A watching brief was maintained during groundworks for the bypass. Two post-medieval kilns were recorded (reported elsewhere). No further medieval sites were identified.
