Great Horkesley, Crabtree Lane (GHOCL98)
A medieval field boundary ditch was recorded, aligned north-south parallel with Crabtree Lane, which was presumably of medieval or earlier origin. The ditch, [4], was 1.7m wide and 0.7m deep with a square-cut profile at its base, and its primary fill [3] contained two large sherds of early medieval ware, from a cooking pot and a jug, dated to the 12th-early 13th century. A further 53 sherds of early medieval and medieval coarse wares of the same date were recovered from the upper ditch fill and topsoil [1], including two flanged rims comparable with examples from the Fordham site (MCC5243).<1><2>
