Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation of one trench was undertaken. The results indicated that there was no evidence for human activity earlier than the late medieval/post-medieval period. Natural gravel was reached at a depth of 3m below present ground level and above this was evidence for 16th century activity onwards. Evidence for possible brickearth quarrying was shown by the redeposition of the natural material on the site. Another industry was indicated by the presence of fragments of iron slag and crucible, possibly representing iron smelting of munitions on or near to the site. Evidence for structural remains were encountered with the late post-medieval cellar with no other significant structures remaining. [Au(abr)] |
