The Toilyard Kirtling, Cambridgeshire. An Archaeological Evaluation

Abstract

Evaluation trenching revealed no archaeology or material culture dating earlier than the later 19th C, the date of the establishment of the Kirtling Estate Toilyard. The remains of brick footings for a saw mill were recorded along with a rubbish pit containing 21 complete glass bottles, including a number of codd bottles dating between 1884 and 1912. The work showed that there had been both truncation and build-up of redeposited material on the site, presumably to level it for construction of the toilyard.
