Full Description
PRN 35112
EVIDENCE FOR MEDIEVAL ACTIVITY WAS RECORDED IN THE NORTHERN PART OF AN EVALUATION AREA AT THE MEADOWS. A BURIED SOIL WAS RECORDED AND INTERPRETED AS THE REMNANT OF A MEDIEVAL AGRICULTURAL SOIL WHICH HAD BEEN TRUNCATED FROM ABOVE BY LATER AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITY. IT IS PROBABLY CONTEMPORARY WITH THE NORTH-WEST SOUTH-EAST HEADLAND WHICH SURVIVES AS DEGRADED EARTHWORK LOCATED APPROXIMATELY IN THE CENTRE OF THE EVALUATION AREA. ADJACENT TO, AND PARALLEL WITH THIS HEADLAND WAS A LARGE BOUNDARY DITCH WHICH HAD BEEN DELIBERATELY BACK-FILLED, PROBABLY WHEN LANGTOFT WAS SUBJECT TO THE ENCLOSURE ACT. SEALING THE BURIED SOIL WAS ANOTHER HEADLAND CREATED BY A LATER PHASE OF RIDGE AND FURROW. {1}
