Full Description
17 May 2007. Test pit.
A test pit was excavated in the grounds of the Old Rectory to understand the earthworks in the garden and to provide basic training in archaeological techniques. A large number of granite chips from an old path across the garden were recovered together with post medieval and modern pottery and medieval tiles. A post medieval clay pipe stem and metal working waste were also recovered. The layout of the earlier garden was understood more clearly by looking at aerial photographs and maps dating from 1836 to 1988.
