NJ 93450 09097, NJ 93148 09523 and NJ 93193 09496 (cottage) An evaluation was carried out 6–13 May 2010 on two areas of the development site. Trenches at the N end of the site revealed part of the channel and the base of the weir for the water power to the 19th-century mill. A trench at the S end of the site cut through deep deposits of dumped ash and cinder from the mill. A standing building survey was undertaken on Don Cottage, a Category B listed building which had been severely damaged by fire. Built in the 1830s/1840s, it had been a two-storied harled brick villa with French windows at ground floor level and a balcony at 1st floor level supported by rustic style timber columns.
