Description

March 2017. Watching brief. A late 18th to early 20th century red-brick wall foundation was investigated in the linear foundation trench and aligned SE/NW. This is possibly a continuation of a wall foundation found in the inspection pit to the NW, and if so, would date the latter to the late 18th to early 20th century. Construction rubble associated with this wall was dated to post-1910. Also within the foundation trench was a late 17th – 19th century soakaway made of red-bricks. It was a circular structure approximately 1.15m in diameter. <1>
