Abstract:
The desk-based assessment carried out as part of this project provided little hard evidence as to the development of the site. The excavation identified medieval features in many of the trenches, as well as extensive industrial waste of a later date. The medieval remains were thought to relate to the boundaries of a croft. Dating was accomplished by the recovery of in situ pottery finds. The absence of any Roman pottery or finds was thought to preclue the local assumption of a Roman origin for the site.
