Monument record MNL 608 - Smoke House Inn

Please read our .

Summary

This site, an area of 1147sqm lying circa 20m to the east of MNL 598, forms a small part of the former Smoke House site that has since been evaluated as MNL 618. It was excavated immediately after MNL 598, at the request of Judith Plouviez, as deposits had been disturbed and exposed by the demolition of the hotel buildings. It identified, amidst areas of substantial modern disturbance, further evidence of the widespread Iron Age and Roman occupation seen in the vicinity although it lay largely to the south of the apparent occupation boundary seen in MNL 598.
