NHER 68916 (Monument record) - Post-medieval to modern and undated remains

April 2018. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
The five trenches excavated revealed remains that appeared to be predominantly of relatively recent date. These included a several brick wall footings in the easternmost trench, which were almost certainly associated with the barn standing immediately to the west - corresponding with now demolished structures that can be seen projecting from the eastern side of this building on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25-inch map (S1). Other features recorded included two north-east to south-west aligned ditches, one of which produced a medieval pottery sherd and a pantile fragment of 18th- to 20th-century date. Brick of a similar age was recovered from one of two post-holes identified. A pit containing modern rubbish was also exposed.
