Abstract: |
Border Archaeology undertook a programme of Archaeological Observation of ground works and Photographic Survey relating to the conversion of outbuildings at The Queens Public House to holiday let units. The work was carried out between January 25th and February 5th 2014 with observation subdivided into two discrete areas. Area 1 comprised the footprint of an outbuilding measuring 4.5m × 8.5m to the rear of the public house. A photographic survey of this structure was carried out prior to demolition, following which an L-shaped foundation trench was excavated. A sandstone foundation aligned north-south and an associated lime-mortar floor were revealed beneath modern landscaping deposits and the internal floor surface of the outbuilding. These appeared to form part of an earlier building on a similar footprint extending to the south of the public house. Area 2 comprised an extant building measuring 5.4m × 4.6m immediately north of Area 1 and forming the rear section of the existing range. A concrete floor was removed and the surface reduced by 0.3m. A trench was opened east-west to a further 0.4m below this level. The ground works revealed a series of internal subdivisions within the building. These included an extension of a corridor running north-south from the front of the public house. Several later subdivisions occurred within this corridor, probably associated with the use of the building as a WC. A lime-mortar floor surface, possibly a continuation of that observed in Area 1, was revealed at the base of the trench in this area. |
