Remains of a Large Dwelling.
In 2001 the remains of a large dwelling, measuring about 64 feet by 23 feet were uncovered. The house was built shortly after the arrival of the Kirkes and involved the demolition of the bakery/brewhouse that stood in the same location. In this illustration can be seen fireplaces at either end of the house (within the white rectangles), a cobble pavement that formed part of the interior floor (within the long, narrow white trapezoid) and the remains of joists of a wood floor (alongside of the white lines). The two pipes shown in the previous illustration indicate that the house was occupied by the family of Sir David Kirke.
