Group Description
-
- Underlying the modern overburden was deposit (726), formed of building rubble, it was the latest fill of barrow well {727}, composed of brick and rough mortar. The barrel well was also filled by (729), waste building material that formed the fills. The body of the barrel well, {798} was composed of a heavily decomposed wood and corroded iron barrel rings. The barrel well was built into construction cut [728], that was dug into Post Medieval soil (549). Context (747) was primarily formed of construction rubble. It formed the only fill of masonry feature {748}. Construction {748} was built on as a form of shallow walling for masonry floor structure {812}; although built separately, with no interconnecting brick, they are seen as contemporary. The function is unclear, although it is possible that this was a drainage feature.

Dating Information
-
- Two pot sherds were recovered from (726), and were dated to 1770-1840AD, and three pot sherds were recovered from (729), dated to 1770-1830AD; and so the fills of this barrel well were seen as contemporary. The remaining features in this group are seen as late Post Medieval due to their form, function, and stratigraphic position.
