Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Brushings Farmhouse, Broad Street, Hollingboure, Kent. The work was undertaken between the 30th March and 3rd April 2007 on behalf of Simon Griffith. The groundworks monitored were associated with the construction of two extensions on the site and comprised footings trenches and soakaways. Footings for a replacement boundary wall and garage were also monitored. A few ephemeral features were observed in section (Trenches 1, 2 and 5); these mainly had diffuse edges and post-medieval to modern metalwork was recovered from the feature in Trench 2. These features were not considered to be of archaeological significance. A well was uncovered during landscaping associated with the excavation of foundation footing Trench 3. This was recorded in plan and variously photographed. The position of Trench 3 was adjusted to allow for the total preservation of the stone structure of the well, and the well was to be lined with geotextile across the base and sides, and across the top of the stone structure and outer edge before infilling with a weak concrete mix prior to building works on the site. No other archaeological features or deposits of archaeological importance were observed and it is likely that modern usage of the site, substantial terracing and the construction of extensions in c.1960 has had a detrimental effect on the survival of archaeological remains. |
