Find Spot MPM1254 - 13th century pottery, Northumberland Road

A scatter of 40 small sherds of locally produced 13th century coarseware pottery, revealed across Area A during excavations in Northumberland Road in 1983. The sherds belonged to cooking pots and jugs. Further 13th century pottery was recovered from two pits found on the same site (see MPM1253). The pits and the scatter of pottery would indicate the presence of a nearby medieval settlement. As this would have been in the form of a small hamlet or farmstead, large quantities of finds would not be expected.
