Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation uncovered the remains of Late Bronze Age/early Iron Age structures with evidence for possible metalworking and early medieval industrial activity comprising lime kilns and a post-mill with surrounding C-shape ditch. Many chalk extraction pits and at least one post-built structure were associated with the lime kilns. A late medieval trackway was also identified, which may be a continuation of Mill Lane (to the north). Evidence for metal-working was also identified in the form of slag and smithing/smelting residues. Very low-key activity roughly dating to the Enclosures (1800's) was also identified. |
