Full Description
Remains of medieval buildings and activity, thought to date from the 14th century onwards, and revealed during trial trenching in 1976. The earliest feature on the site was a north to south aligned ditch, located at the western end of the trench. The lowest fill of the ditch contained fragments of wood ash and Shelly ware pottery. Immediately above this was a near complete cooking pot, of a fabric similar to Staxton ware. A later building of 16th century dressed stone had partially collapsed into the upper fills of the ditch. A robber trench was found running south along this upper fill. A hearth associated with 16th century sherds was located in the north-eastern corner of the wall, under which was found an incomplete mustard quern of Mayen lava. The quern is now in the City and County Museum. {1}{2}{3}{4}
