Description

Summary: Marked clay pipe fragments: 4 bowls, 1 stem: \n- 1 x unstamped \n- 1 x hand/glove (Gauntlet family c.1640-1670) \n- 3 x IEF/FRY.H/VNT (c.1650-1670) 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.
