Late Saxon deposits were revealed during trial trenching (Trench 16) and open area excavation (WPB3 01) to the north of Weston village during investigation of the Weston Bypass in 2001 to 2003. The deposits included ditches dating from the late 9th to 11th centuries and a creek dating from the 10th century. Pottery sherds dating from the 9th to 10th and 10th to 11th century were also recovered.
The village of Weston was founded in the 11th century according to Domesday Book and the excavations on this site appear to have revealed activity dating from around this period. {1}{2}
