Archaeology Notes

NJ50NE 6.01 56616 09543

NJ 566 095 An analytical assessment of cottage buildings (NJ50NE 6.01) was undertaken in March 2005 in advance of

refurbishment. This E-W aligned range contains two dwellings: a larger cottage to the W (presently occupied) and a smaller dwelling to the E, the subject of the detailed assessment. The larger dwelling bears the date 1776 over its entrance. Externally, the range, which is of homogenous 18th-century construction, retains much of its original appearance; there was evidence for a small lean-to extension, probably secondary, at the W end of the S elevation.

However, detailed survey of the cottage to the E revealed that the range as a whole had undergone a systematic refurbishment in the mid- to late 19th century, including the replacement of the floor structures and comprehensive interior relining. The smaller cottage saw a secondary refurbishment c 1970s, including a new kitchen extension to the rear.
