Summary

Post medieval remains, Appletrees

Full description

PRN 34968
During trial trenching in 1996, a ?late medieval to post medieval ditch was recorded on a north-west/south-east alignment in Trench 7. The ditch was deliberately backfilled, probably in the late eighteenth century when the present house and garden were constructed. Fifteenth to eighteenth century pottery was recovered from the backfill. Trench 8 contained a pit, a posthole and a possible gully aligned east/west which were all thought to be of post medieval date.{1}{2}
A watching brief in 1997 recorded a deep pit containing nineteenth and early twentieth century pottery, glass and metal. A few representative samples of glazed stoneware sherds and glass bottles were collected. A change of land use from paddock to garden could perhaps have happened sometime during the last century. The deep rubbish pit probably post-dates this change.{3}{4}
