Full Description

2008: An archaeological monitoring was carried out inside this 18th-century, Grade 2 Listed Building following ground reduction for the insertion of a new floor. The monitoring revealed the brick foundations of earlier buildings and structures, including the base of a possible malting kiln, all dated provisionally to the 17th- or early 18th centuries. External deposits of probable mid 17th-century date (including a possible yard surface and lime-working area) were identified but could not be excavated (S1).
