During an archaeological evaluation in June 2015, two evaluation trenches were excavated. Minimal archaeologically significant material was revealed. A water channel, post hole, and redundant pipe trench were uncovered all broadly post-medieval in date. A brick structure was also revealed and is possibly the remains of a yard. The structure is formed of concrete/cement and brickwork floor. Anti-slip bricks suggest that horses or mules were kept and used on the site. Finds uncovered included post-medieval pottery, glass fragments, roof tiles, and a clay pipe fragment – all dating to late 18th early 19th Century. A single tin-glazed earthenware fragment dating to mid- to late-17th Century was also uncovered. (1)
