Area K

Old Mill ?

 

This is small trench no more than 2m by 4m. In the north east corner is a dark feature thatArea K might be a pit surrounded by a platform of dense green clay very much the same as in the middle of the Mesolithic structure. Surrounding this is a flat stony layer similar to the yellow stony deposit in A/2. On the west side of this trench is the remains of the mill house and its associated rubble pile. This year we plan to excavate the mill house  and show all the stages of an excavation from archive records to geophysics to excavation.. Taking you though all the stages, right up to finds processing and data base recording. We know from the archives that the mill house was there in 1840’s but had gone completely 1908.
