Abstract: |
A watching brief and historic building survey was undertaken at Frittenden Primary School, Frittenden (TQ 81382 40965) in July and October 2011 (respectively), prior to the demolition of the existing buildings and construction of a new school building. No finds or features of archaeological significance were uncovered during the watching brief, undertaken during the stripping of the area before the construction of the new building. The natural clay deposits were observed at a high level, c.0.35m beneath the modern ground-surface. The historic building survey investigated the World War II air raid shelter. This recorded a number of features associated with the use of the structure as an air raid shelter, including evidence for gas curtains, blast walls, and toilets; as well as evidence for the later modifications of the structure, particularly the southwards extension of it and its division into separate rooms. |
