Post-medieval quarry pit, rubbish pit and remains of garden structure, north of Mill House, Newmarket Road, Great Chesterford (EHER 46346)

Monitoring and excavation in 2007 recorded a post-medieval quarry pit, rubbish pit and the remains of garden structure.

Augsut 2007. Watching brief and archaeological excavation. A quarry pit of post-medieval date was investigated along with an 18th century rubbish pit. The latest feature was an 'L-shaped' foundation for a garden structure of later 19th or earlier 20th century date, probably contemporary with the house and garden. Most of the archaeological remains were sealed beneath deep topsoil attributed to landscaping and garden activities over the last 200 years. <1> See also <2>.
