Full Description
During an archaeological excavation on land at the Poplars, Poplar Lane, Legbourne, a series of likely medieval features were identified. Extensive pond deposits were seen across the eastern half of the stripped area. Pottery sherds recovered from one of these pond deposits were identified from the 13th-15th century. This pond was cut by two parallel undated ditches. The eastern of these cuts the western one, which measured 1.5m wide by 0.7m deep and was overlain by a deposit containing 13th-15th century pottery sherds. It contained two fills, the lowest of which had a highly organic content, suggesting vegetation accumulated in the ditch. Two further ditches were identified, one containing a likely residual Mesolithic-Neolithic flint. These ditches are likely to be contemporary, and appear to form a rectangular enclosure or paddock, possibly of medieval date. {1}{2}
