Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation comprised the mechanical excavation of ten trial trenches (Trench 1-10). Ground level in the trenches was reduced using a JCB 3cx backhoe mechanical excavator for Trenches 1-6 & 9 and by mini-digger for Trenches 7, 8 & 10, both utilising a toothless ditching bucket. Trench 10 was sited to test an anomaly identified by geophysical survey within the north-eastern corner of the proposed development. The structural remains of a building were encountered in Trench 10 include a substantial WNW-ESE orientated external wall, a stone flag surface and later cobble and lime mortar repair and the remains of a hearth/fireplace. A further WNW-ESE orientated wall was recorded to the SSW of the external wall that probably delimits a yard area. Although only a single shard of undiagnostic glass was recovered from the structure itself the cottages likely to date to the 17th century. |
