Summary

Archaeological evaluation and excavation at Jennings Yard revealed a multi-period site.

Monument Type(s):

  • SETTLEMENT (Early Mesolithic to Post Medieval - 10000 BC to 1700 AD)

Description

Evaluation (1985) and excavation (1987) of part of believed site of 12th century suburb of "Underore". Complex river and terrestrial stratigraphy, including reclamation. Mesolithic flints, late Bronze Age and Romano-British pottery found, overlain by medieval and post-medieval deposits including buildings, one with a garderobe. Possible moat and causeway, all overlain by orchard soil. Many finds. Large animal bone assemblage found during evaluation and excavation. 3 eroded large mammal bone fragments found in alluvium with Mesolithic flints, much found in disturbed or updateable contexts. Therefore mainly medieval material examined, some phase 3, most from levels of building destruction. Phase 4 including skeletons of at least 8 horses <2>.
