The two test pits dug on the terrace told us that the area has been built-up rather than cut into to create the terrace that is there today. The construction was mainly of sand and what appears to be eighteenth century The terrace todaybrick rubble. Perhaps this came from the farm that historical sources tell us pre-dated the house on this site. The terrace was then covered by a chalk surface or path 1-2 cm deep.
