Full Description
In 1995 an evaulation by Canterbury Archaeological Trust was carried out at Horsebridge Road. The remains of a structure, possibly a dwelling, was found. A brick built conduit and brick built cess tank were both found, and apparently discharged into the ditch. The brciks were frogged, giving a date of between early to mid 19th century. A wall foundation was also present in this ditch and the conduit cuts the brick foundations suggesting the conduit and cess tank pre-date or are roughly contemporary with it. This foundation is probably the west wall of abuilding. There is also an abutting wall overlying the cess tanks, where the shallow reamins of a wall foundation are present. This was built after the cess tank fell out of use, due to probable installation of a main sewer system, and is probably an internal partitioning wall. Several refuse pit were also found. They contained rubble, organic materials (bone and shell etc.) and pottery. Most of the pottery in the refuse pits date between the mid 19th century through the the 20th century. In general on site the Post Medieval pottery, dating between the late 18th century and the early 19th century. (1)
