Abstract:		 Medieval features included a hearth on the site of the former shop, and three large walls in the yard to the east. The hearth probably represents a kitchen of 13th or 14th century date. If this were the case, then the contemporary hall would have stood nearby to the south. The walls in the yard were not closely dated, but probably belonged to the fortified residence first documented in the mid 13th century. They were certainly demolished by the late 17th century, and may have been slighted by Parliamentary soldiers in 1646. Most of the post-medieval and modern features related to contemporary buildings. The most notable feature was a brick-lined well beside the former stable to the north of the main entrance. The well was probably contemporary with the building, which is securely dated to the late 17th century. However, excavations outside this building to the south-west exposed two walls of an early 17th century building. Other walls of 17th or 18th century date were exposed in a trench excavated along the access road. Nearly 200 artefacts were also recovered. These included fragments of a sandstone piscina of 13th or 14th century date, some locally produced bricks and tiles, and a fairly typical range of pottery. The piscina may have come from a contemporary chapel, while the bricks may have come from a clay-pit in the field to the west of the site.
