Abstract: |
In the summer of 2008 Archaeological Services and Consultancy carried out a historic building watching brief at 14 South Street, Castlethorpe, Milton Keynes as a condition of planning permission for the development of the site. The property, which is a stone built, 2-storey structure under a pitched tiled roof, lies at the eastern end of a short terrace of three similar properties. Building analysis focussing primarily on the roof trusses in the adjoining properties in 1999 led to the hypothesis that the terrace may date from the 15th century and could incorporate a possible 14th century building at the western end. During this watching brief, which was limited to the removal of part of the east wall to create a new door, a small soot filled cavity in the east wall of the property, another smaller recess containing the remains of a purlin and the cut line for the roof of the former extension were revealed. There was no evidence of earlier roof timbers as only modern rafters were revealed, but the presence of a bonding timber could suggest an 18th century date for this part of the building. |
