| Abstract: |
The evaluation positively identified the remains of the Black Ball settlement, which map evidence suggested was abandoned by the time of the 1890 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. The results of the evaluation confirmed an 18th century date for its abandonment. Habitation of the settlement appeared to have been short-lived, with finds suggesting its occupation during the later 17th and 18th centuries only. Evidence collected from the evaluation indicated that Black Ball comprised of a small number of domestic dwellings, constructed on stone foundations, although probably timber-framed. No evidence was recovered for any medieval precursor for the settlement. A single undated linear feature noted from recent aerial photographs remained undated. [Au(abr)] |
