Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording took place during enabling works for the creation of a garden terrace at The Old Vicarage site. The Old Vicarage lies approximately 50m southeast of the Grade II* Listed parish church of St Mary the Virgin which has origins dating back at least to the Norman period. The deposits below topsoil (which contained 20th century pottery) are undated. A garden wall and a culvert were revealed. No prepared surface was found associated with wall and it may represent a garden revetment wall of probable post-medieval date although on a different alignment to the present house. The brick-built culvert within a stone base is post-medieval in date. It would appear unlikely, from its alignment and construction, that the brick culvert is a later and separate feature post-dating the stone wall which supports it. No significant dateable archaeological deposits or artefacts were recovered and no pottery finds earlier than the 19th century were recovered. |
