Description

The footings for a small extension on the western side of the house were monitored as the site lies within the outer bailey of Eye Castle. All the footings were open an examined as was the upcast spoil. However as the footings, which were 400mm wide, were only 500-600mm deep for most of their length they were still in the upper desposit comprising a dark brown clayey loam with frequent 18th century and later brick/tile fragments, 19th century and later pottery sherds and recent glass fragments. At one point the footing went to c800mm but even at this depth the same deposit was evident and it is unclear at what depth earlier deposits might lie.
