Monument record SAP 029 - OUTLINE RECORD: Archaeological features, Lake at Grange Farm House, Sapiston (CAS) EVAL

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken within a pasture field at Grange Farm House. A total of seven trenches were excavated with four of these revealing archaeological remains. Some of the features dated from the Late Saxon to the medieval periods and contained modest finds assemblages, while others were undated. Multiple ditches on various alignments and a quarry pit were revealed, likely relating to a general area of activity within these periods around Sapiston church located to the north of the site. A paleochannel was also seen within some of the trenches but no finds were recovered from the deposits. Topsoil finds included a late Saxon coin, a post-medieval finger ring, a late medieval mirror box and a medieval well-preserved circular papal bulla of lead alloy showing some degree of mixing within the surface deposits from the adjacent post-medieval quarries.
