Description

Summary: Bulk Find. Assemblage of ceramic building material weighing 4,520g. Roman material is represented by 11 fragments including box flue tile and roof or floor tiles. Medieval material is represented by 10 fragments of tile of which 3 are encaustic floor tiles and 4 green-glazed roof tiles. From fieldwork undertaken by the WANHS Archaeology Field Group at Godwin's Meadow, Rodbourne, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, 2006 and 2009. A site of multiple occupation, stretching from the 10th to the 18th century, but the most intensive periods of activity extended from the latter years of the Saxon-Norman period and continued through to the end of the High Medieval period (10th-14th centuries). A complex area of earthworks which indicated that structures, enclosures, banks and ditches once existed in this area.
