What is recorded here

During the test trenching in 1992, archaeological deposits were noted at the base of a cellar which comprised3 levels of houses and laneways and a 4th level of pits were investigated. All the levels appeared to date to the later 11th/early 12th century. Well preserved post and wattle buildings aligned at right angles to a laneway that ran in a south-west/north-east direction were uncovered. A small number of finds of all types were recovered including an exceptionally fine wooden handle decorated all over in Laing's 'Primitive Style'. (Hayden 1993, 20 ).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
