PLANT REMAINS FROM SHACKERLEY MOUND

Author(s): J R A Greig

Plant remains from the Shackerley Moats, perhaps early 13th - mid 14th century, were investigated. Most of theplants were aquatics which would have grown in the moat or plants of damp banksides which would have grown around it. There were also cornfield weeds, ruderal (wayside) plants and some signs of scrub of hedgerow. Crop plants found include flax, wheat, rye and damson. The floras investigated were small.
