Watching brief by Great Chesterford Archaeological Group at five new properties on Carmen Street, Great Chesterford, 1978 - EEX64161

A watching brief during the construction of five houses on three properties at Carmen Street, Great Chesterford. Note that source <3> attributes the address to 1-5 Carmen Street but this is an error which has arisen from a mis-reading of the EHER paper record (<1>). The modern addresses of the properties are 1 - Bartle House; 2 - Glinton Cottage; 3 - 1 Delles Cottage; 4 - 2 Delles Cottage; 5 - Hayloft Cottage. It appears from the documenation that all properties were built in this year, however the architectural styles vary greatly and, as such, the watching briefs may have been on extensions or other associated features. The sketch plan on the HER paper record (<2>) also does not include Clematis Cottage (EHER 25345) which most certainly was extant in 1978, having been built in the mid 19th century.
