C12 to C14 Occupation at Holly Tree House, Flecknoe

1 Occupation of the site adjacent to Holly Tree House was identified during an evaluation in 2001. The stone footings of a building, possibly timber framed were identified close to and aligned with the road, along with a number of ditches and gullies set at right angles to it. The finding of a substantial amount of 12th century to 14th century pottery dated the occupation to within this date range. The ditches identified in trench 3 are likely to be boundary features separating rear gardens or small fields with the properties along the street frontage; if this is the case then the toft would have measured 12m wide.
