Abstract: |
An archaeological recording exercise and watching brief which consisted of two parts - the recording of remains of a structure during construction work and monitoring the excavation of additional trenches. Truncated masonry remains of a north-north-east to south-south-west aligned building were recorded firstly. The notably skewed alignment of this structure is comparable with the foundation trenches of a building dated from between 1480 and 1700 that were exposed during previous archaeological investigations on the site; however the bricks recovered from the newly exposed section of wall are dated to the late 17th century. This is at odds with the fact that the building on a skewed alignment was found beneath the chapel, which was built in the 1660s, and cannot be satisfactorily explained. In the southeast corner of the unmonitored trench excavations a red brick floor surface was also recorded. This had been partially truncated by the recent works and is thought to represent a yard surface or floor for structures of a similar date to those exposed in these works to the west and in the previous works to the north. The second phase of works involved the monitoring of further trenches. The remains of several red brick foundations in a poor state of preservation were seen on a north to south alignment as well as possible floor surfaces. It is suggested that these represent the remains of an outbuilding associated with the manor house or the structure to the west that was demolished at the same time as the manor house. |
