Monument record MNN173801 - Probable post-medieval midden

Watching brief identified an area of probable waste disposal dating to the post-Medieval period. Three areas of post-medieval surface was observed along with an abundance of finds, the majority dating to the early 20th century.

{1} A programme of archaeological observation, investigation, recording, analysis and publication was carried out. The investigation revealed evidence for post-medieval activity within the site, primarily in the form of a significant quantity of finds, the majority dated to the early 20th century, including glass bottles, pottery and animal bone, indicating the area was likely used for waste disposal. Three areas of post-medieval surface were also observed, a sandstone surface made up of regular stone setts, possibly a stable floor or part of a yard, and a possible stone path leading up to it, and another, earlier, stone surface or path.
