Abstract: |
During renovation works at No. 4 Alma Cottage, Studland, which forms half of a symmetrical pair of mid-nineteenth century estate cottages, the remains of an 'old wall' and some medieval pottery were found by the builders beneath the floor of the 'front' room of No. 4. Terrain Archaeology was asked by the National Trust to investigate. The 'old wall' was found to be a dwarf wall to support a suspended wooden floor and was an original part of the structure of the cottage. Adjacent to this wall was a drain running out to the exterior. The evidence suggests that the north 'front' room was originally unheated and was probably the parlour or back kitchen, while the 'back' room to the south was formerly the main living room. There is a bread oven placed centrally, shared between the two halves of the cottage. The medieval pottery appears to have been derived from the subsoil beneath the cottage. |
