Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2008 at the request of hunter Page Planning. Three trenches were excavated. Two trenches were positioned to investigate the site of the former Bentley Manor, a 19th- century stately home that was demolished in 1950. These trenches identified the foundations of the former manor house and associated stable block. The manor house was found to have been vigorously demolished with the whole site being truncated to the top of the natural substrate. Two former cellars were exposed, each filled with rubble derived from the demolition of Bentley Manor. A third trench to the north of the house failed to uncover any of the former garden features that are known from historical records to have once existed. Four shallow and broadly parallel drainage features, dating from the late 19th century, were identified however. |
