Description
17th century or earlier timber framed house. <1>
1995. Watching brief.
Six features were identified within the foundation trenches of an extension for a conservatory. A pit or ditch contained a single sherd of late Romano-British pottery, three flint-and-chalk footings could not be dated but were probably earlier than the seventeenth century and two postholes or pits were probably post-medieval in date. The footings appear to lie in strata containing medieval or post medieval tile and therefore may pre-date the hall which is 17th century. <2>
