Full Description
PRN 36766
Archaeological remains of 11th to 14th century date were recorded during evaluation on land at Red House Paddock, Tallington. Clear evdience for 11th to 14th century settlement was found in Trenches 1, 3 and 4, with possible evidence also found in Trench 2, in the form of an undated pit. The assemblage of animal bone recovered from the site, while small, provides further evidence of domestic occupation on the site. Components of this settlement include enclsoure ditches, linear dirtches, gullies, a group of pits and postholes. Settlement in the area - at least in the northwestern part of the site - probably took the form of tofts and crofts associated with the Saxo-Norman and earlier medieval village of Tallington. A possible 14th century date, as indicated by the pottery assemblage, for the abandonment of occupation on the site, would be consistent with a general decline in population and settlement contraction resulting from the 'Black Death' in 1348-9.{1}{2}
During the subsequent watching brief, medieval pits were identified along with undated pits and ditches which are probably also related to this settlement. Medieval pottery was recovered. {3}{4}
