Abstract: |
Border Archaeology Ltd (BAL) was commissioned by Mr and Mrs Nigel and Joanna White to undertake a programme of Archaeological Field Evaluation of land adjacent to Cuckhorn Farm Stoke Lacy Herefordshire. The work was in addition to an Archaeological Assessment carried out by Border Archaeology in January 2016 (BA 2016). The proposed development will affect the setting of an oval mound listed on the Herefordshire Sites and Monuments Record (SMR) as a 'possible undocumented medieval motte'. The Assessment concluded that, on balance, it was likely that the earth mound adjacent to the site is indeed a motte. The Archaeological Field Evaluation was intended to complement the conclusions of the Archaeological Assessment, as well as to investigate the proposed footprint of the building. A substantial ditch aligned east/west running along the northern side of the earthen mound was encountered in Trenches 2 and 3 of the evaluation. Its position and alignment, although running close to the south side of the motte, suggested that it may represent the alignment of a boundary. No finds of early date were encountered; the only ceramic material consisted of brick and tile dating to the 20th century and recovered from recent backfill of the partially silted ditch. |
