Description

All three TPs produced undisturbed medieval deposits. In all three cases, the quantity of medieval ceramics was indicative of proximity to occupation. The assemblages are all dominated by later medieval wares, however, the presence in all TPs of pre-conquest pottery points to the fact that occupation had extended this far east by the end of the 11th century. The absence of early-middle Saxon pottery, however, suggests that this is an initial extension from a more discrete earlier centre (B1).
