Full Description
April-May 2014. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of new dyke adjacent to west bank of River Thurne, south of St Benet’s Level Drainage Mill (NHER 8460).
No archaeologically-significant features or deposits were observed, with the new dyke being cut into natural grey clayey silts. A small number of burnt brick fragments were though noted in the topsoil at the northern end of the dyke, close to the mill. These were presumably discarded during repairs to the mill in the early 20th century, when it is known to have been damaged by fire.
