Full Description
The evaluation of a proposed house extension (ST892054) was carried out in November 1991, consisting of two one-metre square hand-dug trial pits. Within one pit was located a deposit of compacted chalk and a portion of a gulley containing several large chalk blocks. These have been interpreted as a floor and wall foundation trench from a post-medieval building. Although one sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from the base of this wall trench all finds above the floor were of 18th century date or later. (1)
