Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the site of a proposed development which consisted of two discrete areas, one of which, Site A, occupied an 18th century walled garden. The wall surrounding the garden was Grade II Listed. This site and part of the second, Area B, lay within the area of the deserted medieval village of Stanford on Avon, a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Geophysical survey indicated the presence of linear anomalies and a sub-circular anomaly within Area A, and the possible lines of wall foundations within Area B. Subsequent trial trenching revealed paths and drains within the walled garden, as well as a probable backfilled water course. No indication of the anticipated medieval manor house or of other medieval features was found. Ditches containing a small amount of medieval pottery were recorded within Area B. These were presumed to relate to the deserted village. [AIP] |
