| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the topsoil stripping for a new drive. Elements of the hall dated to the early 17th century, and the SMR showed the possible presence of a Deserted Medieval Village on the site. Despite the recorded presence of a village on the site, no evidence was recovered to suggest that a medieval settlement had existed in the area. The only definite archaeology visible was a ditch and lynchet, thought to have been associated with a field boundary; a piece of 18th century ceramic was recovered from the top of the ditch. All other underlying soils appeared to be of natural derivation. By virtue of the limited recovery of archaeological features it was considered that the excavation of the driveway, beyond the hall environs, did not warrant archaeological supervision. [Au(abr)] |
