Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out at Wickerstreet Cottage, Kersey after the demolition of a de-listed building, in order to fulfil part of a planning condition placed on application B/09/00449 for the erection of a new dwelling on the same site. A building recording survey had already been commissioned which highlighted the possibility of there being a rare attached medieval kitchen in one part of the house. An evaluation, seeking to investigate the archaeological footprint of buildings of this type as well as confirm the presence of any kitchen structures and/or hearths was also part of the planning condition. The evaluation trench revealed evidence of fire debris (numerous charcoal fragments and 'cooking' pottery) dating from the 12th - 14th Centuries but no floor layers, or definite early structural features/cross-walls between the bays. The only structural evidence was a short length of a possible footing pad, but this is not directly attributable to a specific phase of development on the site. |
