Archaeology Notes

NO30NE 23.02 Centred 353 090

To the NE of the limeworks (NO23NE 23.01) is the sand-cement brickwork's, within which there are two brick presses, only one of which (an Anderson press) is in use. Both the main brickwork's shed and the limestone store are former aircraft hangars that have been modified and re-erected on site at Cults. It is not known where the aircraft hangars came from.
