Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation in area of new car parking to the north of Red House. Two trenches were excavated. A series of post-medieval pits were investigated. These predate the construction of Red House (1773-1786) and are likely to be back-yard rubbish pits associated with a row of cottages formerly standing along the NW side of the site. An 18th entury brick wall perhaps also connected with these cottages or with one of several outbuildings associated with wool processsing known to have stoood on the site in 1786. A brick drain may also be contemporary. The latest feature was a beam-slot indicating the probable position of a 19th/20th century garden shed. |
