Monument record MLI81200 - Peripheral Saxon settlement features, Hall Road

Peripheral Saxon settlement features, Hall Road. The limited number of features and artefacts indicate that activity on this site in the Saxon period was probably peripheral to a more extensive settlement to the north and north-west, closer to the parish church.

Full Description
PRN 61422
Several anomalies were identified during a geophysical survey, prompting further work.{3}{4}
During trial trenching, three Saxon features were recorded. An east/west aligned gully and a pit contained pottery and animal bone, while a north/south aligned ditch contained pottery. One potsherd was dated to the 5th-7th centuries, the remainder to the 9th-11th centuries. The relatively small number of features and artefacts suggests that occupation in the Saxon period was limited, and probably peripheral to a more extensive settlement to the north and north-west, closer to the parish church, although by the medieval period, occupation features existed at this location. See PRN 61425 for the medieval settlement.{1}{2}
