Type and Period
Description
March 2003. Archaeological excavation.
Fence-lines identified in the post-medieval period are likely to be internal garden features, as, in the 17th century the two properties are combined and in use as an alehouse by 1691 (see EHER 38359). Three cess pits, one of which is timber lined and contained waste material from the alehouse, firmly date to the 18th century. Modern brick and post hole features broadly correlate with the positions of 19th century outbuildings shown on early Ordnance Survey maps. <1> <2>
