Abstract: |
Four contractor's test pits were observed in September 1994 on the site of a proposed rugby pitch which will cover part of the site of Horeston Grange, a medieval manorial complex consisting of three moated enclosures which are still partly visible as earthworks (Warwickshire SMR Ref Nos. WA 1691, 5142, 5808 and 6260). Part of the site had been used to dump ash from steam engines from the nearby railway and the trenches were intended to establish the extent of this dumping. Trenches 1 and 2 were dug across the moat ditch of the southern enclosure, which proved to be 2m wide x 0.3m deep and sealed by 0.3-0.5m of topsoil. Trenches 3 and 4, which lay within the enclosure, contained layers of ash and slag. The trenches produced no medieval finds and no features were located within the moat.[AIP] |
