Site of late 18th century house, Carters Pasture, Farther Howe Green (EHER 8004)

Now destroyed. The earthwork remains of a late 18th century house were recorded during a watching brief in 1984, and are part of a larger complex of earthworks (EHER 8003) including the remains of a medieval house (EHER 8007). The area was fieldwalked and the majority of the pottery recovered was compatible with a construction date in the late 18th century.

Slight earthworks suggestive of a sunken way and possible house platforms. <1> <2> 1984. Watching brief: fieldwalking. Earthworks (EHER 8003) in the field were recorded prior to the site being ploughed and two house sites were identified. Documentary evidence indicates the house on 'House Site 1' was built in the late 18th century. The majority of pottery finds from fieldwalking this area are compatible with this date. A small amount of late 16th/17th century brick, thin green window glass and lead cames may be explained by the practice of re-using building materials, especially in the case of small houses. <3> NRHE data transfer: no new information.
