Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May 2008 at the request of Savills at Naas Court Farm, Lydney. Eight trenches were excavated. Previous documentary research has shown that the farm was formerly a medieval manor. At least one of the stone barns that comprise the modern farm may have 14th-century origins. The compact arrangement of the buildings and the presence of linear ponds to the north and east of the buildings have been used to suggest that the manor was moated. Two undated features were encountered; a possible quarry pit and a stone culvert. No evidence for a moat was encountered. It is possible that a moat never existed at the site or that it was located further away from the farm buildings on at least its southern and western sides. No medieval surfaces or other features were recorded within the barns. |
