Remains of post-medieval activity beside the Anchor Inn, Church Street, Alford.
Type and Period (4)
Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
Archaeological evaluation of land west of the Anchor Inn revealed a post-medieval yard surface and associated walls, and the edge of a pond thought to have been backfilled in the 17th century. The fill of the pond contained 16th and 17th century pottery. {1}{2}
Three ditches and two pits were revealed in November 2009, during the excavation of three trial trenches on land to the rear of Anchor Inn, Church Street, Alford. Whilst no dateable material was recovered from any of these features, they were all overlain by a layer containing 16th to 19th century fragments of brick and pottery. {3}{4}
Ditches and pits of probable post medieval date (some were the same features as those seen during evaluation) were observed during a watching brief. The lack of finds on the site suggests that this area was used as pasture or some other use that left very limited archaeological traces. {5}{6}
