Abstract: |
The recent works, which included the stripping of interior finishes, internal alterations and the creation of new door and window openings revealed the construction of the first floor exterior walls, which were previously largely obscured by interior plaster finishes and exterior tile-hanging. The construction comprises small-panel timber-framing, with some footbraces, which were seemingly confined to the service end of the building. The location of two original mullioned windows was identified, to the front and rear elevations. The original infill to the first floor timber frame, which is likely to have been lath and daub, was replaced with brickwork, probably during the 19th century when the ground floor was rebuilt in brick; it seems probable this was carried out with the intention of it being obscured by tile-hanging. The watching brief on the groundworks at the site resulted in the recovery of material dating between the Mesolithic/Neolithic periods and the twentieth century. The presence of prehistoric flintwork is indicative of casual loss during transient activity, ether at, or in the vicinity of the site, while recovered sherds of medieval pottery are presumed to be the result of manuring of the local fields. A large collection of 19th and 20th century material is clearly more directly 'domestic' in origin, from the dumping of detritus close to the cottage. Finds from a midden deposit included pottery, tile, glass, clay tobacco pipe and metalwork. |
