Description
1993. Watching brief.
A group of brick walls, probably of 19th century date, although incorporating several 16th-17th century bricks were recorded during a watching brief on the construction of a 19 Km long natural gas pipeline. Their form and alignments suggest a rectilinear enclosure, probably a walled garden or yard. The re-used bricks almost certainly come from the brick gateway at groves Barns, a Listed Building, c.80m to the north, now incorporated into a later farm building or alternatively froma now demolished associated structure. <1>
