Full Description
A brick lined feature F18/F19 was observed during excavations at 22-24 High Street in 2000. This was a sloping-based structure with a single layer of bricks as it floors and two or three surviving courses of wall each side. This had the appearance of a coal chute leading down to a cellar which had been cut away by a modern pit F6. The bricks were thin (i.e. 'Tudor' type 22 x 10 x 5cm), and, in comparison with dated examples from Cressing Temple, probably later 17th century in date.<1>
