Full Description
PRN 35328
During trial trenching, a drystone wall aligned north/south was recorded. The wall was constructed of rough limestone blocks, with only the foundations remaining in places, and was 3.5m in length, disappearing abruptly as if removed. A lack of rubble suggested that the wall had been robbed rather than ploughed out, and no indications of a building (e.g. floor levels, corners) were observed, suggesting that the wall was probably a property boundary. A piece of 15th century medieval pottery (circa 1450) was found in the rubble layer above the wall, indicating that the wall was constructed before this date, and so was most likely medieval in origin.{1}{2}
