Monument record CRP 031 - Medieval Pit, Post medieval extraction pit and undated pit and ditch at Poundfields Products, The Grove

Evaluation identified an post-medieval quarry pit was identified along with an undated field boundary ditch that was also noted in Trench 10 that aligned with an extant trackway indicated on early OS mapping. A second undated ditch in Trench 5 was identified at a right angle to the aforementioned ditch and together may have once formed a field boundary system. An undated pit was identified in Trench 5 that was similar in shape and plan to a pit identified in Trench 15 that was dated to the 12-14th century. An undated small pit was found in close proximity to the 12-14th century pit in Trench 15. A large undated ditch was identified in Trench 14 in close proximity to a trackway noted on early OS mapping (S1).

2022: Monitoring of groundworks identified one feature of a large ditch, which had also been uncovered during the evaluation phase. A large modern disturbance was recorded truncating this ditch at the southern edge of the site. The only find recovered from the ditch was an iron horseshoe of 16th – 18th century date (S2).
