Site Event/Activity record ESF21031 - School Road, Risby

An evaluation was carried out in advance of residential development on land off of School Road, Risby, to establish whether there was any evidence of medieval settlement on the site, which lay close to the parish church of St Giles. The evaluation consisted of seven trenches with a total length of 150m, equivalent to 5% of the total area of 0.48ha. The trenches did not locate any evidence of medieval settlement within the site, which was presumably farmland during the medieval period. Two possibly natural features contained two abraded sherds of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery.
