Excavation details a Late Iron Age cremation burial and a previously unknown medieval pottery production site.
This report details the excavation of two trenches on the site in locations containing an urned Late Iron Age cremation burial, and medieval and post-medieval pits and linear features. The urned burial produced a radiocarbon date of 52 BC-AD 78 (UBA 45941). The medieval features are notable in containing dumps of pottery wasters dating to the late 13th century in association with a radiocarbon date of cal AD 1272-1304 (UBA 46475) suggesting the presence of a pottery production site nearby. The presence of a medieval pottery production site is unexpected for this region and the distribution of its products as yet unknown.
