Find Spot record 0974900000 - Field marked Church Close (Tithe Map)

Whilst not containing any structural evidence, the pottery assemblage was exclusively medieval with no later inclusions. The presence of an assemblage containing sandy shelly wares and shelly coarsewares, and the absence of the ubiquitous Potterspury Ware dates these deposits firmly to the twelfth century. Whilst eight sherds might not be considered large, it is unlikely to have accumulated as a result of the manuring of arable land. In this instance, then, it is probable that the test pit lies within a croft at no great distance from a domestic residence from whence the pottery had been discarded. The total absence of later wares, however, suggests that this corft had a shortlived occupancy (B1).
