Abstract: |
The earliest archaeological remains were the later medieval or post-medieval ridge and furrow, which were discernible as slight earthworks on the southern part of the site. The remains of Madam's Hill Farm were revealed, and comprised the footings of a probable brick building, yard walls and remnants of farmyard surfaces. The yard wall may have been preceded by a ditch. Some areas had been truncated by large pits and backfilled with demolition rubble and the entire area of the former farm was covered with a layer of demolition debris and redeposited soil. It is possible that the farm was established when the land was enclosed, probably in the late 18th century. |
