Description
January 1998. Watching brief.
An archaeological watching brief on the construction of an extension to New Ivy Chimneys uncovered a feature, dating to the post medieval or modern period. The feature comprised a shallow hollow and contained brick (the latter not recovered due to health and safety considerations); although not positively dated, the presence of the brick suggests a post-medieval or modern date. The feature may be associated with the construction of New Ivy Chimneys as it is the same depth as the footings of that building. <1>
