Description
1996. Watching brief.
A watching brief in advance of housing development identified a former path or right of way on the north side of the former Police Station (EHER 80924). Feature truncated to north and west, and bounded by a stone wall in lime mortar to the south and east. Beyond the wall the land drops vertically by 1-2m. The surface comprises bricks (red stock of engineering), stone and cement, the former being laid in different bonds (mostly stretcher) with lime and cement mortars. The surface is uneven and in places there is evidence of considerable wear; in some instances are two courses of brick surfacing but to the west the stock bricks are laid directly on brown gritty soil with dimensions 19.6m in length, width 3m - 4.05m. <1> <2>
