Abstract: |
The watching brief on the reduction of the floor level of the cellar at 1, Whitefriars, Rye produced evidence of three floor levels, and a brick built sump possibly associated with a light industrial purpose, and two earlier drains or conduits. The sump and the earliest drains were dated to the late 16th to 17th centuries by sample bricks taken. A second later drain or conduit was also dated to the 18th century by a brick sample. Artefacts recovered consisted of eight pottery sherds, with six of these being recovered from the deposit directly above the natural silty clay. The earliest sherd was a piece of handle from a Saintonge Jug, the rest being later with a date range between the late 15th to mid 18th centuries. Also recovered from this deposit was a fragment of a boulder that had most likely been used as ships ballast. The evidence suggests that the cellar was rebuilt in the mid 18th century, perhaps at the same time as the house itself was also rebuilt. |
