Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation revealed that the natural ground had been truncated in much of the area by ploughing and horticultural activity dating to the 17th-19th century as well as by later terracing. Two worked flints were found, one of them a scraper, as well as a sherd of flint-tempered late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery. These finds were residual, recovered from post-medieval deposits. Features dated to the 17th-early 18th century were found consisting of drainage ditches and bedding trenches relating to the use of the site as a horticultural nursery. Later features included a brick-lined pit and a well dated to the early-mid 19th century. These were also related to the horticultural activity as indicated by finds of flower pots. Clay pipes from the well included one with Masonic motifs of crossed dividers within a shield on each side of the bowl and an assemblage of pottery with gilded decoration and a marmalade jar.
