The pottery from this test-pit shows that there was activity virtually throughout the medieval period, starting around AD1150. There was also a fairly large sherd of Roman pottery, indicating that there is a site of that date nearby. The late medieval pottery is interesting in that it is the only assemblage from all the test-pits that includes German Stonewares of the period, from a number of different pots, and it is possible that the occupants of the house had mercantile connections, or, given that the pottery is largely beer-mugs, it may have been an inn at that time. The lowest or even three contexts appear to be undisturbed medieval soil horizons.
