Land to the north of Springfield Road, Westcott

Strip, map and sample by H Nicholls of ASE. A small assemblage of unstratified/residual Mesolithic to Early Neolithic flintwork, a single pit of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age date, and a medieval ditch were revealed. The pit contained three, possibly four, partially complete pottery vessels, which may have been deposited in semi-complete states. The pit was discovered close to the limits of the area investigated and related features may be present beyond this area, although given the absence of other occupation evidence, it is suggested that the vessels may have been deliberately deposited in an isolated location chosen for its association with the nearby Pipp Brook.
