Abstract: |
The evaluation at Park House Cottages, Church Stretton, comprised two trenches located on the east side of the property on an area of scrub garden (Trench 1: 6m N-S x 2.5m E-W) and at the front of the property, to the west of the driveway (Trench 2: 2.4m E-W x 1.4m N-S). Trench 1 produced no definite evidence of activity predating the post-medieval period. One of the earliest features revealed appears to have been either a natural watercourse or a holloway. Two later pit features appeared to be 19th century or later and were still active during a phase of activity possibly relating to the demolition and subsequent levelling of the probable barn or stable building fronting onto Church Way recorded on the Church Stretton tithe map of 1840-41, which appears to have been taken down by 1883. Trench 2 did not contain any evidence of the structure recorded on the tithe map of 1840-41. This is likely to be due to the structure having shallow foundations, which were fully truncated during the demolition process represented by (202). |
