Abstract: |
Archaeological remains, probably dating to the medieval period, comprised a probable boundary ditch, two smaller ditches following the curving embankment of the hollow way, two pits or small ditch terminals and a possible pit or tree throw scar. A junction between two ditches in the north-west corner of the site probably dated to the late medieval or early post-medieval period, although this feature had been extensively truncated by modern services and groundwork. Other activity on the site dated to the 19th and 20th centuries. A large pit containing iron working slag may have been associated with the activities of James Hayes, inventor of the mechanical straw elevator, who worked out of the workshops in the yard in the 19th century.
