Monument record 2600/0/54 - Post Medieval Building

{1} Trench E was cut across a slight platform showing as an earthwork in the field. A building is shown here in 1621. At the north end of the trench the robber trench of a wall was located, and to its north a surface of limestone, pebbles and mortar. To its south were two sparsely cobbled surfaces into which two postholes were cut. A further probable robber trench was discovered 5m south of a parallel to the first. These two walls may represent the front and back wall of the building shown in 1621. Post medieval pits were revealed in the south of the trench, and a further possible timber structure was also identified.
The pottery recovered suggests occupation of C17th-18th date, but the amount of residual Saxon and medieval pottery recovered indicates earlier activity in the vicinity.
