Full Description
PRN 54863
An archaeological survey was undertaken on lands forming part of the Brocklesby Estate, comprising field observation and rapid fieldwalking (on a non-collecting basis) and a desk-top assessment. This was done to appraise the archaeological resource of the estate as part of a wider Heritage Landscape Management Plan. The survey found the earthwork evidence for a cottage within the bounds of Newsham Abbey (PRN 50005). The site of 'Newsham Cottage' is marked by a distinct mound c. 30 to 40m diameter, with much brick rubble on the surface. Beneath the roots of one of the trees above the mound, traces of a brick arched vaulted cellar were discernable. A square pit at this location has at its base an in-situ medieval pier base (see PRN 50005) {1}
