Habitation site in Lusk

Test-excavation (Licence no. 01E0872Ext) of a greenfield site S of Church road identified a possible portion of the ecclesiastical enclosure (DU008-010006-) and evidence for habitation including ditches, pits, possible hearths and drainage. A bone spindle whorl and iron knife of probable early medieval date and a single sherd of medieval pottery were recovered from stratified layers in defined features indicating long-term settlement in the area. The features have been preserved within the open space of Chapel Farm housing estate (Baker 2001, 24). Compiled by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 5 February 2015
