Abstract: |
an archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Channel 4's 'Time Team' at Buck Mill, Stoke Trister, near Wincanton, Somerset (NGR 374590 128228) to investigate the site of a watermill recorded in Domesday Book (1086). The programme of works also investigated the standing remains of a post-medieval mill building and earthworks indicative of water management. Examination of the Domesday reference, other documentary evidence and watercourse earthworks identified two possible locations for mills pre-dating the postmedieval mill remains. Excavation, however, proved unsuccessful in identifying any structural remains relating to these putative early mills, although this could be due to the insubstantial nature of wooden mill buildings in the early medieval period. |
