Description

A watching brief was undertaken on the building of a driveway, garage and extension at Weavers Cottage, Carmen Street. The photos which are LibraryLinked to EHER 14926 indicate that most of the site was stripped, beyond just that of the driveway, garage and extension. The extension was a northeast-southwest oriented block on the west side of Weavers Cottage, and it is reasonable to assume that in this location the ground intrusion may have been deeper than that in the area stripped around the driveway. The same can probably be said for the foundations to the garage, the footprint of which is shown on MasterMap basemapping. NRHE data transfer: Watching brief took place during the construction of a driveway, garage, and extension.
