Description
41 evaluation trenches were dug before construction of Richings Park Golf Course. Trenches 8, 13, 19, 20, 26, 28, 36 and 40 all produced finds, however the main area of interest was centred around trenches 13 which contained a ditch with a burnt layer, a shallow ditch/gully, a large pit, and ditch/tree hole, and two probable postholes. 21 sherds of pottery were recovered all of medieval date. Trenches 36, 37, 38 were dug over an area 30m x 15m to investigate the features of Trench 13 further. Trenches 37 and 38 contained no features. Trench 36 contained a dark deposit (similar to that found in trench 13) and believed to be an occupation layer (B1).
