Description
this test pit was located on the most prominent earthwork in the extreme southern corner of the enclosure. At 360mm below the surface a compact limestone surface, possibly an internal floor, was encountered. Above this surface eight sherds of medieval pottery were recovered, a single sherd of Brill/Boarstall Ware and seven sherds of Potterspury Ware. This limited ceramic evidence points to use from the mid-thirteenth century and into the fourteenth (B1).
