| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of proposals to extend and refurbish the property. The evaluation consisted of the excavation of ten exploratory geotechnical test pits in the garden of the 17th century house, and one within the building itself. A possibly medieval boundary ditch was revealed, sealed beneath a soil layer, probably formed when the 17th century garden was laid out. A possible cess pit of post-medieval date was identified cutting this soil. Traces of a gravel path and a former turf line were observed sealed by a later phase of soil landscaping, probably of 18th century date or later. [Au(abr)] |
