Monument record 13766 - LEWIS, 12 EOROPIE

NB56SW 67 c.517 649

NB 517 649 The proposed site of a house development was evaluated as human remains had previously been found in the immediate vicinity.
The foundation trenches of the proposed house were mechanically excavated under archaeological supervision to a depth of 1.2m. No human remains were present within the foundation trenches. Evaluation did identify, however, the presence of several features including a wall base, an area of cobbling, and deposits containing hand-made pottery, fish and animal bones. The features were characterised, through partial excavation, and probably represent the remains of a 19th-century domestic dwelling. (GUARD 914).
