Site Event/Activity record ESF19939 - The White House, Thedwastre Road, Thurston

An archaeological evaluation took place on land associated with The White House, Thedwastre Road, Thurston in September 2008 in advance of the construction of four dwellings and associated garages. Eleven linear trenches were investigated which produced evidence for small scale occupation in the prehistoric and medieval periods. A small number of other features could not be assigned to period but to be medieval or earlier. The majority of the features encountered dated to the post-medieval and modern periods and related to the use of The White House when it was a working farm.
