Description
-
- 584 is the masonry of a soakaway. The fills inside the structure suggest a post-medieval date for its use. The main fill of 584 is the very organic and putrid smelling 588 which suggests that the soakaway held cess or at least organic material. 584 is a well built soakaway with varying courses of headers & stretchers, & 2 offset coursings.
