Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertaken during ground breaking works for new drains and replacement down pipes. Two machine trenches were excavated, one against the building's north-west facing wall and the other against the south-west facing wall. Hand-made horse-shoe field drains, probably 19th century, were recorded in both trenches and appear to have been used for rainwater drainage. The deposits had been disturbed by modern drainage and path laying operations and no other significant archaeological features were recorded. |
