Source Number  

1 A small building is shown on late 19th/early 20th century OS maps. This area once formed part of the property to the north-west. An aerial photograph taken in 1964 suggested that this building was replaced or extended in the 20th century; a large outbuilding or outbuildings appeared to have existed in this area. However, these are not shown on the 1966 OS map so it may have been demolished by this time.
2 Archaeological observation during topsoil stripping prior to the excavation of the foundation trenches for a new building recorded the remains of a brick outbuilding in the south-eastern part of the site. The bricks recorded probably dated from the mid-20th century, suggesting the rebuilding or enlargement of the 19th century outbuilding. The remains of a brick-built wall was revealed, at least five courses high. The majority of the bricks noted were machine-made and probably of mid-20th century date.

Description  
technique excavation Archaeologists excavate sites so that they can find information and recover archaeological materials before they are destroyed by erosion, construction or changes in land-use.

Depending on how complicated and widespread the archaeological deposits are, excavation can be done by hand or with heavy machinery. Archaeologists may excavate a site in a number of ways; either by open area excavation, by digging a test pit or a trial trench.

technique Aerial Photograph Aerial photographs are taken during an aerial survey, which involves looking at the ground from above. It is usually easier to see cropmarks and earthworks when they are viewed from above. Aerial photographs help archaeologists to record what they see and to identify new sites. There are two kinds of aerial photographs; oblique and vertical. back
