Full Description
PRN 36498
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during residential development on land to the rear of The Cottage, Lower Road, Hough on the Hill. The watching brief monitored the excavation of foundation trenches for the new development and identified a number of medieval deposits and features. Medieval deposits comprise two pits. The larger of the two perhaps originated as a 'borrow' or quarry pit to obtain material for the construction of the motte, which accords well with the 12th to 13th century pottery retrieved from its basal fills. This feature probably survived as an earthwork for a considerable amount to time as evidenced by post-medieval pottery in its upper fills. The smaller pit contained a single sherd of late medieval or early post-medieval pottery and probably served as a refuse pit. {1}{2}
