Description

The stratigraphy here was less deep then in TP 8 (0975300000) but its component parts are very similar, with modern material found throughout. Those observations made for TP 8 pertain again: the soil has moved, but earlier material almost certainly derives from the immediate vicinity. Inthis instance the medieval pottery assemblage is made up of seven sherds of Potterspury Ware and a single sherd of shelly coarseware. The floruit of occupation here thus dates to a few decades later than that found at 9 Brookside. With no structural evidence, once again interpretation relies on the size of the assemblage. Too large to have accumulated as a result of manuring, the pottery must have come from a domestic site close by, probably under the modern house (B1).
