Full Description

Following the stripping of an area of land on Monsom Lane, prior to the construction of a new house, two archaeological features were observed close to the south-east corner of the site. One was a small apparently circular pit, which could not be closely dated. The other was a 4.1m by 0.8m lozenge-shaped feature, steep sided with a flat base. It contained three sherds of pottery, two of a coarse sandy fabric, probably originating from Burley Hill and dating from the 13th-14th centuries, and one larger sherd of a coarse red sandy ware, probably part of a jar. It is likely to be late medieval in date and also from Burley Hill. The features may represent a slot and a post-hole of a building that once existed in this corner of the site, along the frontage of Monsom Lane, although as they were at the very edge of the site, it is difficult to ascertain exactly what they represent. The pottery recovered from the fill is of varying dates and therefore may be residual. (1)
