Full Description
A small group of medieval and early post-medieval features, including rubbish pits and possible boundary ditches, was recorded during small-scale excavations on the site. One piece of possible Saxon pottery was recovered from a later feature. The excavators felt that the generally low density of medieval finds indicated that the area was not intensively occupied in this period. (1)
