Full Description
Sherds of unglazed Saxo-Norman pottery, dating from the late 10th to the early 13th centuries, were recovered during a watching brief at Abbey Farm, within the area of Alvingham Priory. This pottery was associaetd with a possible hearth. The sherds were recovered from waterlogged or semi-waterlogged layers, which may therefore contain important environmental evidence. The sherds may represent pre-priory occupation of the site. {1}{2}
