Full Description
October 1955.
South side of Old Rectory and about 30 yds away.
Foundations of rectangular structure found and partly excavated by occupant. Floor of interior very even and hard - appears to be cement or mortar with ash mixed with it. Sides have traces of cement lining about 3/16 inch thick. Possibly water cistern. No associated objects but H. Tyrrell-Green suggests possible Norman date from regular courses of flint.
