Find Spot record MWX3448 - Medieval to modern pottery, The Glebe, Bridport

Small abraded pot sherds ranging from the 12th century to the present day recovered during excavation. No evidence for on-site occupation, more likely to be domestic rubbish dumped to improve cultivation land.

Excavations at the Glebe, Bridport in 1975 revealed a significant assemblage of pottery and other finds. None of the material was stratified and there was considerable mixing. The pottery included some 12th century sherds as well as post-medieval wares, together with a fragment of 14th century floor tile and an assemblage of clay tobacco pipe dating from the 17th to the 19th century. This material was probably deposited on this site as a result of manuring activity.
