Description

A watching brief was held during works designed to prevent flooding in the cellar of Bourne Mill. The remedial works followed earlier trenching (see ECC1681). During the new work a 3m wide trench was excavated against the leat inlet in the west wall of the mill, exposing the internal wall face to a depth of 1.75m below the local ground level. Features observed appeared to represent a sequence of relatively late repairs and alterations.<1>
