Description

Plan Form - RECTANGULAR?
In 1905, during excavations by employees of Mr William Cannon, builder, for the foundations of a house in Walton Road (Name SP 825133), belonging to the late Mr George Tabor of Kingsbury Square, sherds of pottery and bones were discovered. Further excavations through a stratum of rock revealed what seemed to be the site or basement of a house or hut, but entirely without masonry. (See plan). Numerous fragments of pottery, some bones, with a few iron and other objects were discovered throughout the site, being particularlly plentiful at points E & F on plan. The metal objects range in dating from probably the 16th to 18th centuries (1)
Considered by Millard to be one pit or more than one intersecting pits, and not an underground hut site. It is not now possible to tell which of the pottery formed an associated group or groups. There are two sherds of St Neots ware, 13th century and post medieval sherds (B3).
CONTAINED MUCH POTTERY, BONES & A FEW IRON & OTHER OBJECTS. NGR DEDUCED FROM 1905 PHOTOS (B5).
