Monument record 0954000000 - 10 Kingsbury Square, Aylesbury

A rammed chalk foundation for a building was found in a test-pit and in a cleaned existing foundation trench behind a shop on Kingsbury Square, Aylesbury. The rammed chalk foundation was probably of post-medieval date, though no dating material was found. There was also the brick wall of a 19th century cellar and cess-pit in the existing foundation trench. Both of these features seem to have been backfilled probably in the early to mid 20th century as they contained roof tile and mass produced pottery of the period. The partly demolished brick walls of the cellar were partly visible in plan in the overgrown rear yard. The base of the cess-pit was not revealed and it still appeared to be functioning as a sump as this part of the trench was partly under water (B1).
