Full Description

Possible medieval activity was identified in the form of rough stone foundations as well as a posthole and possible beam slot.

In one area, the foundations were identified below made ground on top of which sat 18th century foundations.

A posthole was rectangular and located within the south of this stone foundation.

A possible beam slot was identified below the foundations orientated north west - south east.

Further possible medieval foundations were identified to the east and south east which were of similar unworked stone and seemed to be orientated north west – south east, running through the unexcavated section between two evaluation areas.

No artefacts were recovered to accurately date these features.
