Description

Recording of a single storey outhouse, possibly a detached kitchen dating to about 1350, involved structural survey and excavation of the floors. In the northern bay, a floor of 16th century brick was revealed, and in the southern bay a heavily worn floor of mid 18th century or later brick, one corner of which was raised to form a plinth, possibly for a stove. Both floors overlay a pre 16th century clay surface, which had been burnt in places.
