Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
The new extension was located on the west side of the existing house. The footprint of the new building covered 26 square metres and measured approximately 8m by 4.3m at its widest point. Initial groundworks involved the removal of a small amount (0.15-0.25m) of modern overburden and topsoil from the interior of the building footprint. Archaeological monitoring was then undertaken on the complete machine excavation of the foundation trench around the edge of the footprint. This trench was 0.5-0.6m wide and up to 1.4m deep, when measured from the exterior ground level. Potential archaeological features were cleaned and hand excavated where practical.
