Abstract: |
Establish the presence/absence, extent, date, nature, function and phasing of any archaeological remains present;
Make a full and detailed archaeological record; and
Produce a report on the results of the archaeological investigation. Holmes Cottage is a survival of an early post-medieval vernacular dwelling which, despite 19th and 20th century alterations and additions, appears to retain a percentage of its historic 17th
century structural fabric and elements of its original plan form. The bread oven to the rear of the property appears to have been added sometime during the 19th century as a form of bake house addition. Such a feature would not be unusual for a property this age or form of construction in this area (HBAS 2017).
The groundworks immediately to the rear of the building impacted upon the existing track hollow-way revealing its profile. The feature appears to have been eroded through subsoil containing late post medieval waste derived material. The topographical nature of this feature at its furthest extent away from Holmes Cottage suggests it was originally flanked by raised banks, but the profile of the recorded section through it implies the original contour of the slope was naturally eroded away by continued use. |
