Abstract: |
The documentary research suggested that the site had been free from any significant development, with only two small structures at the southern corners present, dating from the mid-19th century and including the extant stone store. But given the presence of structures immediately to the north and south, which were dated with reasonable confidence to at least the 15th-century, it was thought that some structure(s) had been present on the site but was no longer present when the detailed mapping of the mid-19th century was carried out. The presence of a door to the churchyard until 1997 was also problematical, as the tithe map showed only the paths to the two entrances that occupied the site. A length of buried wall, running east'“west, was uncovered by the client in 2005 when a trench was dug to 0.5m in the south-east corner of the site. This was identified as the wall of a wash-house, similar to the surviving structure. The shellfish dump recovered adjoining the stone store was likely to be of a recent date. [Au(adp)] |
