Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and excavation was undertaken during groundworks for the construction of an extension to an existing dwelling at Mill House. The fieldwork revealed a late Roman ditch and a possible Roman pit. Additional finds included a late Roman shale spindle whorl and a 4th-century coin. No archaeological features of Saxon or medieval date were identified. A quarry pit of post-medieval date was investigated along with an 18th century rubbish pit. The latest feature was an L-shaped foundation for a garden structure of later 19th or 20th century date. Most of the archaeological remains were sealed beneath deep topsoil attributed to landscaping and garden activities over the last 200 years. |
