Description

A trial trenched evaluation undertaken in advance of the erection of a new two-storey detached building on land adjacent to 25 East Hill revealed six post-medieval and one modern feature (CBC planning reference 150770). A post-medieval wall foundation made from 17th century bricks probably formed the base of a plinth for either a timber-framed structure or outbuilding. The remaining five pits and one pit/posthole were typically associated with yard and garden deposits of the post-medieval to modern periods. There was no evidence of any activity before the post-medieval period except for a small quantity of residual Roman and medieval finds.<1>
