Find Spot record 0976600000 - Test pit at Heybarne, Lillingstone Lovell

Unlike the other test pits, this TP was located off the main earthworks. At 380mm below the modern ground a well-made limestone cobbled surface was found made up of larege limestone blocks up to 100mm in diameter. Within this were found sherds of a glazed Potterspury jug. Further substantial fragments of this jug (16 sherds) were recovered from the layer below these cobbles. Once again, therefore, the sum of the evidence suggests that not only was the enclosure in use in the latter half of the thirteenth century, but that it was being constructed at this time. A large fragment of an unidentified bronze vessel was also found within the cobles (B1).
