Abstract: |
The earliest deposit revealed during the watching-brief, was a dark grey silty layer of Saxo-Norman date. Fragments of ragstone and chalk masonry forming the north, east and south walls of a cellar of probable medieval date were observed to the north-east of the site. A later post-medieval brick-lined well or cesspit was observed adjacent to the north wall of the cellar. To the south of the cellar a dump of brickearth and chalk rubble of probable medieval date was revealed. To the east of the cellar another N-S aligned ragstone and chalk foundation of medieval date was probably part of a separate building on an adjacent property. The cellar was backfilled by brick and mortar demolition debris containing fragments of burnt pottery dating to the middle of the 17th century, suggesting that the building had been destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666.
