Abstract: |
No archaeological evidence pre-dating the mid-19th-century was found, the ground having been disturbed by previous modern development. In Trench 6, in the central part of the site, the truncated remains of a late 19th-century brick well were located. A few fragments of mid-19th-century blue transfer ware (willow pattern), and part of a decorated leather object, possibly a document holder, were recovered from the backfill of the well. Historical sources indicate no construction on the site before the 1850s. In Trench 1, in the north-west corner of the site, the remains of a late post-medieval brick wall were seen during the removal of topsoil. Two short lengths of 19th-century brick-built walls were seen on the north edge of the trench below the topsoil along with an unbonded single line of air bricks forming part of a flower bed. |
