Abstract: |
The site walk-over confirmed that the ground plan of the mill / farm complex survived on site almost in its entirety as recorded on the 1839 Tithe and subsequent OS maps. The height of the structural remains varied, to a maximum of 2m in certain sections. Buildings were constructed in both river-borne rubblestone and quarried gritstones and roofs, where existing, appeared to have been slated. The red brick located around the site suggested the buildings fell out of use in the mid-20th century, at which time the openings were blocked-up. No evidence of any structural remains with confirmed pre-18th century dating were located during the walk-over. The archaeological interest on site centred on the mill/farm complex. Although the site had been subjected to considerable stone robbing over a period of over 50 years, substantial structural remains survived. [Au(abr)] |
