Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, consisting of four trial trenches, was undertaken. The evaluation revealed a stone wall, a number of stakes and a timber beam lying at the level of the groundwater, three metres below current ground level. These were probably associated with the revetment of a millstream dating to either the medieval or early post-medieval period. The wall and timbers were the only significant pre-19th century archaeological remains identified. During the early 19th century the site was apparently cleared of all standing buildings and the ground level raised by 2 to 3m. A large mill building was then constructed at the northern end of the site. This was demolished in the 1940s and the site used for warehousing up to the present day. [Au(adp)] |
