Abstract: |
The desk-based assessment highlighted the competition between Medieval religious institutions regarding land assets held in Gilcrux. Examination of the 1814 enclosure map, the 1824 manorial map, the 1841 tithe map and the 1865 First Edition Ordnance Survey map suggested that a large building of some antiquity may inhabit the study area although its spatial provenance is subject to dispute. The subsequent fieldwork revealed a cobbled surface in Trench 1; a massive building foundation, ditch and cobbled surface in Trench 2; and a stone building and ditch in Trench 3. These discoveries indicate a series of large buildings, probably of high Medieval date that could be part of a Manor, a suggestion intimated by historical sources and perhaps explaining documentary anomalies regarding the rights and privileges accorded to the ruling elites |
