EDO6178 - Chapel Yard Pottery, West Street, Abbotsbury; watching brief 2008

Observations and recording during groundworks associated with the development revealed that most of the site had been terraced away in the 20th century to provide level ground for a cowshed. Part of the garden in the adjacent plot to the west was cleared, and this area contained a deep topsoil with a large quantity of 19th and 20th century finds and stone rubble, overlying natural deposits. The rubble was though probably to derive from a small building on the street frontage known to have been demolished in the 20th century.
