Late Saxon deposits were revealed during trial trenching (Trench 13) and open area excavation (WPB2 01) to the north of Weston village during investigation of the Weston Bypass in 2001 to 2003. The deposits included a ditch containing domestic waste including late 10th to mid 11th pottery and a creek with fills dating from the 10th to 11th century containing mid 10th century pottery.
The village of Weston was founded in the 11th century according to Domesday Book and the excavations on this site appear to have revealed activity dating from around this period. {1}{2}
