Type and Period

Description

January 1994. Trial trenching. Trial trenching was carried out prior to development. The foundations of an 18th/19th century building were identified underlying modern made ground close to the frontage of Mill Lane. <1> A gully in Trench D, and which continued into Trench G, was interpreted as a probable property boundary. It was thought to have been backfilled in the 18th or 19th century. Four features in Trench E were interpreted as the forming part of the foundations of the timber framed building. A post-medieval post hole was also recorded in Trench H. <2> Area = 0.18
