Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was maintained during groundwork, at Groombridge House, Speldhurst, Tunbridge Wells, Kent. Planning permission had been granted for the replacement of a concrete screed floor at this scheduled monument, with a condition specifying a programme of archaeological supervision during the process of groundwork. A wall foundation and a stone and brick floor surface were identified underlying an approximately 330mm thick mixed kitchen deposit. The structures had been truncated by the external walls of the mid seventeenth century house giving a terminus ante quem. A spot date (obtained from a single brick) suggests the structures to have a Post Medieval, possible late 16th to 17th century date. |
