Abstract: |
An evaluation to provide some experience of archaeology for young people and develop a better understanding of the subject and to provide academically useful information about the history of the 18th century Stone Court Mansion house. A number of schools, youth groups and individuals participated in the project experiencing a range of specialisms used in archaeological investigation. A trench, was aligned north-south, across the assumed central axis of the early 18th century Stone Court Mansion and measured 24m long by 6metres wide. The trench revealed the brick built foundations of at least seven cellars, three of which had flint floors and a fourth a tiled floor and the foundations of the north and south steps, as noted as depicted on the 1782 map of the estate and the drawings of c 1800 of the north and south elevations of the building. The walls of the cellars stood to a height of c 1m and the rooms were filled with demolition rubble, which included fragments of architectural mouldings. Finds were generally sparse, although some glass, pottery, clay pipe fragments contemporary with the building were find. Other finds of note included an iron key and a coin. |
