Parkside School, Stoke D’Abernon

Evaluation by M Dover of SCAU in advance of expansion of the school facilities revealed that the site had been extensively landscaped. A sherd of post-medieval pottery was recovered from a layer overlying a single course of possibly Tudor bricks. The subsequent watching brief by N Shaikhley did not find any further evidence relating to the brick feature, but did identify a well. A large part of the well appeared to be lined with chalk blocks, except for the upper courses, which were of red brick. The well bricks were not contemporary with those in the feature identified in the evaluation, but it is possible that these were added when the ground level was raised in this area and were not part of the original construction. The original well may therefore relate to the brick feature.
