Abstract: |
Archaeological observation, investigation and recording was undertaken by Humber Field Archaeology during groundwork associated with the installation of low voltage underground cables and the removal of poles on land at Manor House, Thorpe Lane, Thorpe in Balne. Continuous monitoring of the excavations demonstrated the following: At the north, the moat showed evidence of having been cleaned out, with only natural clays lying below the topsoil. At the south, the moat appeared to contain the remains of an upper moat fill and later, 19th century drainage. Along the western edge of the moat platform, there was evidence for deposits associated with two paths, one of which survives as an earthwork, in addition to the well-preserved remains of a stone wall foundation, which the cable trench cut across obliquely. The main deposit encountered on the moat platform was that of redeposited clays. Three mole pits were also excavated: The first showed continuing evidence of that encountered in the cable trench. The second demonstrated a probable small pit cutting into natural clays sealed by redeposited clays. The third presented a series of redeposited clays and subsequent mixed-soil layers, possibly associated with either ground levelling or dumping. No artefacts were recovered during this programme of work. |
