Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
PRN 23697
During an evaluation, a ditch thought to date to the late Saxon/medieval period was recorded. The feature was dated by a single sherd of 10th-12th century Stamford ware, but as the feature had been greatly disturbed, this dating is not secure. The nature of the plant and mollusc remains in the fill of the ditch suggest the site had a rural rather than urban character, and the site may represent a farmstead. Alternatively, the site may lie within the boundaries of the medieval hospital of All Saints' (see PRN 22232).{1}{2}
