Abstract: |
Three evaluation trenches were opened on the proposed site for a new church for Kilmington Baptist Church in the field immediately north of the village hall on Whitford Road, Kilmington. The trenches were positioned in order to investigate a number of anomalies which had shown up on a geophysical survey (SWARCH Report No. 100512). The excavation revealed two linear features dating to the post-medieval period and probably relating to former field boundaries visible on the 1842 tithe map and removed by 1888. These features comprised a bank and ditch running north-south in Trench 1, and in Trench 3 two east-west orientated ditches with a 2.2m gap between them, but no surviving trace of a bank. These features are visible as earthworks within the field and also on aerial photographs. The only other feature of note was a deposit of primarily hand-made brick rubble located directly over the top of the natural subsoil in the western end of Trench 1. The precise nature of this deposit is difficult to ascertain and it probably relates either to the demolition of a structure in this area, or perhaps more likely hardcore for a track running along the northern edge of a former field boundary. |
