Activities

Watching Brief (9 June 2008 - 12 June 2008)

NS 705 584 A programme of monitoring works was carried out from 9–12 June 2008 and comprised monitoring of the reduction of the ground level for the footprint of the new extension. A roughly rectangular red sandstone structure measuring 11 x 5m internally and divided into two compartments with one main entrance and an access between the two compartments was recorded. The walls averaged 1m in width with both entrances measuring more than 1m.

There were no finds, but cartographic evidence indicates that the structure dates from between 1816–1859 and was demolished between 1963 and 1974. The thickness of its walls and width of the entrances indicate that the structure was probably built for some form of industrial or storage purpose rather than as a dwelling, though it may have latterly been used as a dwelling.
