Description

July 2023. Trial trenching. Trench 3 revealed the remains of a 19th century building identified on the 1875 OS map. The foundation had a sub-base of clay, chalk and CBM. The bricks are soft red laid in what appears to be Flemish bond however, there is not enough remaining to be certain. The wall is 13 inch, mortared with white lime mortar. It is probable that the walls are the Eastern, Southern and central wall to the building that is depicted in the 1875 OS map. <1> <2>
