Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by Purcell UK Limited on behalf of the William Scott Abbott Trust to carry out archaeological monitoring of a hand-dug test pit adjacent to the south-eastern gable wall of the mid-18th-century Grade II* Listed watermill at Sacrewell Farm, Thornhaugh, Peterborough. Heritage Lottery Funding has been granted to restore and conserve the mill and to improve visitor access. The test pit was dug in order to investigate the foundations of the mill and to gauge the suitability of the ground for construction of an external staircase. The monitoring was undertaken on 19th February 2013. The Barnack limestone foundations of the mill were revealed, in addition to the brick foundation of a small later (c. 19th-century) outbuilding or wall, and an earlier undated metalled track underlying the existing farm track to the east of the mill building. |
