Abstract: |
Archaeological remains, probably dating to the medieval period, comprised a probable boundary ditch, two smaller ditches following the curving embankment of a hollow way, two pits or small ditch terminals and a possible pit or tree throw scar. The junction between two ditches in the north-west corner of the site probably dates to the late medieval or early post-medieval period, although this feature has been extensively truncated by modern services and groundworks. Other activity on the site dates to the 19th and 20th centuries. A large pit containing iron working slag may be associated with the activities of James Hayes, who used the workshops and iron foundry in the Old Estate Yard in the 19th century. |
