Full Description
{1} The use of the site as an Officers’ Training School during the Second World War is demonstrated by the presence of a series of brick sills which were uncovered to the west of the site. These would have acted as supports for small temporary buildings. The sills consisted of six parallel rows of single bricks and packed clay, aligned east-west across the site. A sherd from a white-glazed mug or jug, dated 1943, was recovered from this area.
