Site Event/Activity record ESF21347 - Erection of Extensions to Park Place, Church Hill, Kersey

Kersey, Park Place, Church Hill (KSY 027, TM 00099 444069) monitoring of ground works for a side extension revealed evidence for a major later medieval masonry building with two substantial flint and mortar walls forming the corner of what can be interpreted as a cellar. Fortunately these walls were left in situ below the recently formed foundations. Further ground works on the site for a small rear extension and terrace retaining walls revealed little apart from evidence for later Post medieval landscaping.
