Full Description

2019: An archaeological evaluation revealed a medieval pit dated 11th-13th century, two post-medieval ditches/pits and a modern path. It is possible that the path and post-medieval features relate to activity at the blacksmith’s forge shown on early 20th century OS mapping of the area, while the medieval pit is representative of an earlier phase of activity at the site which was possibly associated with activity on the historic Newton Green. Several undated features – four ditches, ten pits and a pit/posthole – were also revealed during the excavations. (S1)
