Abstract:
<summary>An earthworks survey and rapid map and documentary assessment were undertaken at Grafton Manor House, at the request of the owner. This followed an article in the local paper suggesting that earthworks in the vicinity of the manor house might relate to Roman or early medieval settlement. The survey recorded a complex of earthworks in a field to the south of the manor. These were dominated by a large rectilinear bank known locally as the "Giant's Walk". This was flanked by shallow ditches, and in close proximity were a number of irregular undulations. A hollow ran down the north side of the field by the road. A documentary search was made of records relating to the manor and as a result it was felt that the earthworks might represent an element of the parkland that surrounded the manor. One possibility is that they formed part of a boundary to keep animals in the park away from the area around the manor which included terraced gardens. {italon}Au{italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} HWCM11077
