Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out by Wessex Archaeology in advance of redevelopment. Extensive modern disturbance from former use and demolition and the remains of the 19th/20th-century industrial complex survived across the site to a depth of 1-1.2m below ground level. Below this, post-medieval made ground deposits were recorded across the site to a minimum depth of 2m below ground level. The made ground probably represents levelling or fill deposits used to raise ground level above the floodplain, effectively terracing the bank of the River Loman with imported material; artefactual evidence suggests that this occurred during the late Victorian period. No evidence of the historically-attested mill complex and no artefacts pre-dating the later post-medieval period were identified but it is possible that remains of an earlier date survive beneath the made ground. |
