Walls On North East And South West Sides Of North West Garden At Little Mote

EYNSFORD High Street 1. (To NW of) 5280 Walls on NE and SW sides of NW garden at Little Mote (qv) TQ 5465 12/57A II 2. Two walls. Not later than mid C18; possibly medieval. Coursed flint with brick and flint coping.

N E wall about eight feet high and twenty inches deep at base; coping partly removed but incorporates a Roman tile. Wall returns S W for a short distance at river end with footings beyond; three are brick quoins here with the flint quoin near the base.

S.W. wall possibly a little less high; similar flint masonry. In two sections. Short N W section extends to river where there are brick quoins. Main section of S W wall retains more of its coping which comprises four courses of brickwork, one with brick cogging; flints along the top. The wall is slightly thicker at its S E end and terminates at a point parallel with the external chimney breast of the house in its S W elevation. It is thought that the walls are in themselves medieval or are on the boundary lines of a garth on N W of the house. See Archaeologia Cantiana, 1971. P.119.
