Full Description
PRN 38963
Remains of 18th to 19th century structures including brick cellars and wells were encountered during archaeological evaluation. These buildings could have been still in use in the mid 20th century. Evidence of terracing, which truncated earlier deposits, was also observed. {1}{2}
Further remains of late post medieval cellars were also encountered during a watching brief along with pits, a post hole and widespread terracing of similar date. One of the cellars contained bottles and almost certainly represents the former Blue Cow public house shown on 19th century maps. Pottery and clay pipes were also found. {3}{4}
