Description

East kitchen door sills and jamb plinths. The half-millstone stoop{1} visible here extending from barrow wheel at left across upper half of photo [see DTR09PH43--1001.01.127] is higher than the earliest entry elevation; the later plinth-blocks [right center and lower left] are set on the original (split) sill at bottom of photo, which is 6-7 inches above original floor elevation, established as discussed in DTR09PH43--1001.01.127. FOOTNOTE {1} Probably a 19th- or early 20th-century emplacement to serve as the first exterior step above the door sill elevation. This half-millstone has been recycled as the upper landing of the new [conjectural reconstruction] staircase to the cellar kitchen entry. Laurence Ward, 2009
