Medieval settlement at Silchester Road, Bramley, Hampshire (Tucker 2024)

The excavation revealed evidence for a medieval settlement, likely commencing in the late eleveth century and possibly continuing until the sixteenth century. A few Iron Age, Roman and Saxon pottery sherd were noted as residual or stray finds with only a few features potentially being dated to these times. A late Upper Palaeolithic tanged point is of note, that was found during the earlier evaluation.
