Abstract: |
A watching brief undertaken by Terrain Archaeology during the construction of new dwellings in the rear gardens of 41-45 High Street, Shaftesbury (ST864229) in September 2002, for Maritime and Provincial Ltd. An ice well of probable 18th century date was discovered in the back garden of No.45. The ice well comprised a vertical stone-lined shaft 1.9 m diameter, with a domed brick roof. It was later reused as a soakaway with two drains leading into it. One drain contained a group of 1830s pottery, indicating that the ice well must have gone out of use in the early 19th century. |
