Abstract: |
An evaluation comprising desk-based assessment and trial trenching was carried out at the proposed site of a new parsonage and an extension to a church hall. A disused 19th century rectory within the site was a Listed Building, and several further post-medieval Listed Buildings lay in the surrounding area. Earlier sites recorded in the vicinity incuded a medieval church, medieval stocks and a Romano-British pavement. Excavation of trial trenches revealed several features, including a boundary ditch, a cobbled trackway with a central drain and the remains of a post-medieval building. A possible hearth and a stone-lined pit may have been associated with the building, whilst a fence-line post-dated its demolition. A small amount of medieval and post-medieval pottery was recovered. Much of the area investigated had been landscaped for gardens during the 18th and 19th centuries. [AIP] |
