Monument record 11046 - Post medieval sandstone feature at the Roodee

Archaeological investigations in the central area of the Roodee Racecourse in 2006 and 2008 to the west of the present trainers pavilion identified evidence of a sandstone feature, interpreted as a possible wall or floor surface.

The evidence consisted of a feature [context 131] excavated at a depth of 0.40m below present ground level comprising a number of red sandstone blocks. Material recovered from the feature was of an 18th century date. (1)
