Description

This test pit was located on the main earthwork, but on its northern side. Again a more stony layer was encountered lying immediately above the natural clay. Once again medieval pottery was found above this surface: a single sherd of Potterspury Ware and Sandy coarseware. Again a thirteenth-century date is indicated by the pottery (B1).
