Description

This test pit was located on the north-western extension of the main platform. In line with the first two test pits (0976300000, 0976400000) a possible rough limestone surface was found at a depth of 420mm below the modern ground surface. This contained a single sherd of Potterspury Ware. Above this a further 12 sherds of Potterspury Ware were recovered. The presence of this pottery within the matrix of the floor points towards a post-1250 date for its laying (B1).
