Full Description

Wall foundations (top of foundation 0.67m bpgl and top of foundation 0.35m below bpgl). These are located approximately 19m and 28m respectively from the foundation further west.The foundations were both constructed using roughly squared and weathered sandstone blocks measuring between 60-70mm thick (due to trench width average stone length and width could not be determined). The foundation stones were laid randomly in a mid-brown silty sand matrix. Both foundations appear to be oriented south-east/north-west and do not indicate any evident relationship with any structures or features indicated on available historic mapping. It is possible that these foundations may have some relationship with an adjacent sluice feature, though this cannot be determined.
