| Abstract: |
During September 2010, a programme of archaeological evaluation by strip, map and record was undertaken on land to the north of the former Red Lion public house Markyate. The work was required as a condition on the planning to construct two new semi-detached houses. The evaluation revealed that during the post-medieval period the site, and this area of Markyate in general has been heavily terraced, to make level platforms for building on. Within the area of the site the fragmentary footings of a post medieval building constructed of handmade bricks were uncovered. Cartographic evidence indicates that this was an 'L' shaped building. As this building seems to have contained a central well it was speculated that it may have been a brewhouse. However no evidence to confirm this theory was discovered. By the mid 19th century this building was divided into two cottages. Finds from the fill of the well, including plastic wrappers, indicate that it was filled relatively recently. No evidence to indicate medieval or earlier occupation of the site was revealed. |
