  • PIT (Medieval - 1066 AD to 1539 AD)
  • POST HOLE (Medieval - 1066 AD to 1539 AD)

Description

4 large pit clusters and and a few postholes were found during excavations by BCMAS in July-September 1994, although the excavation area seems to have lain to the rear of the main focus of medieval occupation associated with Walton Road. Some of the pits appeared to have been re-used as rubbish pits, with large quantities of medieval ceramic floor and roof tile, presumably resulting from demolition or construction activities associated with medieval houses along Walton Road. The majority of the pottery dates to the 11th to 14th centuries although a small number of residual Saxon finds were recovered from later or unstratified contexts (B1-2). NGR to centre of site.
