Abstract: |
In July 2014 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried an archaeological evaluation at land at 23 Temple Street, Brill, Buckinghamshire (NGR SP 6546 2141). The evaluation was commissioned by Mr Max Eason and was undertaken prior to the determination of planning application for redevelopment of the site to provide a single dwelling. The site is situated within the historic medieval and post-medieval core of Brill which was known for its medieval and post-medieval pottery industry. The site therefore had the potential to contain evidence of medieval and post-medieval occupation and, in particular, evidence of tile, pottery and brick production. In the event no archaeological features were revealed. The significant depth of layers (1m+) overlying the natural sand are suggestive of groundworks, likely landscaping, in the post-medieval period. Those works may have been associated with gardens and recreational grounds belonging to the Grove House, located to the south of the evaluation area. The groundworks were likely undertaken in the late 18th century in tandem or shortly after construction of the house in 1770. A layer of compacted gravel and CBM fragments (L1002) may have been the surface of a yard or path. L1003 contained two medieval (mid 13th - 15th century) sherds of pottery (30g). |
