Abstract: |
Archaeological excavations adjacent to Woodhouse Farm uncovered the foundations to a range of 19th-century farm outbuildings of unknown function. These had been constructed over the boundary ditch to a former orchard, which may have been planted as far back as the 1660s, but certainly by 1738. The ditch was filled in probably in the 18th century and certainly by 1867. The buildings included a sunken pit or trough serving a specialist function. A pottery assemblage from the first fifty years of the farm's existence was dumped on the site after 1924, possibly after a pantry clear-out. |
