Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising the excavation of a single trial trench was excavated to accompany and inform a Class 7 scheduled monument consent and in advance of the proposed conversion of the cart shed to a residential dwelling with the boundaries of the scheduled Easthorpe Manor and associated village earthworks. The trench was positioned across a trackway entrance to the site. and was orientated from east-west. The evaluation revealed a sequence of four trackway surfaces, two of which are of modern origin. The third surface in this sequence may be of post-medieval origin and consisted of compacted earth and a high density of brick/tile fragments. Below this, the final surface in this sequence may possibly be of medieval origin and was also composed of compacted earth albeit with a lesser density of brick/tile fragments. This sequence of trackway surfaces was truncated to both east and west by the line of modern service trenches, which were sealed by the current modern tarmac surface. This trench also revealed the 19th century foundations of the Cart Shed. There were no finds from this excavation. |
