Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land scheduled for development as a car park. Early maps dating from 1620 showed a range of buildings of unknown function and an unidentified square feature to the south-west of today's hall complex. Four trenches were excavated and revealed evidence of a floor, stone wall footings and an old land surface below the footings. A stone structure possibly associated with the earliest land surface was also revealed. Coal slag and pottery sherds dating to the 15th century were retrieved from a feature. Other features discovered were thought to be associated with 19th century landscaping. [Au(abr)] |
