Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation was undertaken over five days between the 28th October - 1st November 2013. The evaluation involved the excavation of 5 trenches, totalling 108m2. Archaeological remains were identified in Trenches 1, 2, 3 and 5. A wall was observed within Trench 1 and a tile surface, threshold and wall were observed within Trench 3. The remains in Trenches 1 and 3 appeared to relate to the former post-medieval farmstead that occupied the site. Two pits were observed within Trench 2, post medieval pot was recovered from one. The function of the pits remains unknown but it is likely that they were associated with the farmstead. Two phases of building were observed within Trench 5 that were most likely the demolished remains of an extension of Grange Farm. Three pits were observed within Trench 5. The purpose of two of the pits remains unclear as no dating evidence was recovered. The third pit contained the remains of a cow that was likely disposed of from Grange Farm. |
