Full Description
PRN 20555
EVIDENCE FOR THE POST MEDIEVAL SETTLEMENT OF WHAPLODE WAS IDENTIFIED DURING A WATCHING BRIEF AT KIRKGATE. THERE WAS A BUILD UP OF THE LAND ON THE SITE, POSSIBLY NATURALLY AY FIRST, BUT LATER THIS WAS DELIBERATE FILLING. THIS PROBABLY OCCURED AROUND THE TIME A ROW OF TERRACED COTTAGES WERE BUILT, AND WHICH ARE INDICATED ON THE 1904 MAP. VARIOUS RUBBISH PITS WERE ALSO IDENTIFIED, AND A RUBBLE LAYER, WHICH MAY BE THE RESULT OF DEMOLITION OF THE COTTAGES, OR THE DEMOLITION OF THE SUBSEQUENT LORRY DEPOT ON THE SITE. {1}{2}
