Full Description

Foundation courses of several attached brick-built structures were revealed in this location in June 2022, during digging in the garden by the landowner. The foundations appeared to match the shapes of rectangular structures marked in this location on the 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey County Series map, likely to be former farm outbuildings. The bricks are hand-made, and the structures are likely to be contemporary with the adjacent Old Farmhouse, thought to be of probable late 18th or early 19th century date. A small collection of possibly earlier stonework was found in association with the foundations, suggesting the structures had been partially built from re-used earlier masonry. An assemblage of post-medieval artefacts were also recovered from midden deposits in close association with the building remains. This assemblage was largely comprised of 18th and 19th material, including many pieces of clay smoking pipe, and a largely complete cut-soda glass bottle of possible early 19th century date. {1}{2}
