Full description
179 bones recovered from various contexts in trenches 1-4, 6 and 7. The most common are cattle and sheep/goat. Other domestic species include pig, horse, dog and domestic fowl. The assemblage also includes a reasonable number of bones from wild species, namely deer and rabbit. Both native deer species (ie red deer and roe deer) are present. Fallow deer bones are also present. Marine shell almost entirely oyster with a few fragments of mussel shell. There is little that can be regarded as in situ deposits. The faunal assemblage reflects the site's high status during the medieval period. (1)
