Post Medieval Hedge Boundary

Discussion

This number was issued for the post medieval hedge line which ran across Site 11 for a total of 175 metres in a north-south orientation. The hedge was known to have been removed in the early 1950's, and thus could confidently be assigned a modern date. The hedge line was excavated in four segments in four different areas across site 11 (011AA00253, 011AC00032, 011AE00114 and 011BD00540). The segment in area 11AE was excavated by the Young Archaeologists Club during the open day in 1990. The finds from all of the excavated segments confirm the modern date of the feature. Although it appears to have produced a large number of finds (71) 57 of these are of snails. The animal bones also confirm the modern date, including rabbit, brown rat and crow/rook remains.
