| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay within 100m of the remains of a medieval moated site, a SAM. A small number of Romano-British pottery sherds had been found at the moated site, and the location of a former pound had been recorded to the south. Documentary evidence indicated that structures, probably a dwelling house and outbuildings, had existed at the proposal site. During the evaluation, evidence for the demolition of a buiding was found, but no structural features could be determined. Occupation debris comprising fragments of 19th century clay pipe and pottery within mortar-rich, ashy grey-black clays was observed. The available documentary ad physical evidence did not suggest that the structures at the site had been of any great antiquity, and no indication of any occupation prior to the late 18th or early 19th century was found.
