Abstract: |
An archaeological trench was excavated around the east and south sides of the former bungalow at 71 Mill Road, Stock. The trench was located in an area of garden to be subsumed within the enlarged footprint of the new house. A small number of archaeological remains were identified, ranging in date from the prehistoric period to the 20th century. The earliest feature was a Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age gully that continued beneath the footprint of the former bungalow. Although no other remains of a similar prehistoric date were encountered the gully does attest to probable farming and/or settlement in the vicinity at this time. No features relating to the medieval and post-medieval development of Stock were identified. The only evidence of the Stock pottery industry was one small-sherd of pottery that may be residual in a later feature. Two pits and a ditch were probably modern and associated with 20th-century garden activity. |
