Abstract:
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development. A prehistoric hillfort enclosure, several burial mounds and a Roman settlement had been recorded in the surrounding area, and a number of medieval settlement sites and findspots were known. An 18th century building, known to have dated from 1730 and possibly earlier, had lain on the proposal site itself, and 19th century cottages had lain to the north. During the evaluation, the remains of the building, Venn House, were located. The observed remains allowed the layout of the range of buildings to be plotted using historic plans. The house survived as deposits of demolition rubble, and only relatively limited areas of surviving structure were noted. The majority of deposits could be closely identified with known features within Venn House. Only one wall may have hinted at an earlier, unrecorded phase of building. Datable finds concentrated within the expected 18th century date range, although slightly earlier pipe fragments were found. [AIP]
