Abstract: |
An evaluation of land proposed for a housing development close to the Manor House was undertaken. Geophysical survey failed to locate significant archaeological features, partly due to modern contamination caused by the demolition of farm buildings and partly because areas of the site were sealed by shallow flood deposits from an unlocated source. Excavation of eight evaluation trenches revealed the line of the suspected medieval moat in one of the trenches. The bottom of the ditch was not reached but upper deposits dated from the 14th century and later. A metalled surface revealed in another trench may have been contemporary. To the north of the manor house a Late Iron Age ditch and subsequent recut, which followed the alignment of a possible former water course, and were sealed by flood deposits. Other ephemeral features were also recorded at this level but they contained no finds. A metalled trackway and associated flanking drainage ditch of uncertain date, but not earlier than 15th century, was also recorded. [Au] |
