Description
Evaluation trial trenching carried out by Oxford Archaeology in March 2008 identified a possible late medieval quarry pit, at least 5.6m in diameter and over 0.5m deep, which apears to have been patially backfilled with waste material, including tile wasters, in the 16th century. The backfilling was completed in the 19th century prior to the building of Hampden House in the early 20th century and was overlain by a 0.35m thick cultivated garden soil probably originating from the use of the site as a kitchen garden before the garage was built in the 1950s. See report for detail (B1).
NGR to quarry pit.
