Abstract: |
Tentative evidence was found for late medieval activity on the site, in the form of a sherd of 13/14th-centruy pottery from a shallow pit; the pottery was found in association with late medieval/post-medieval tile and brick, so it may be residual. Three residual sherds of medieval pottery were also collected from the subsoil and made-ground. In the northern and central parts of the site there were several linear ditches that appear to be aligned roughly perpendicular to the western boundary of the site. Two of the ditches are shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1890 and they were recorded as cutting the subsoil in most cases, so are likely to be 18th/19th-century in date. The map also shows a large pond in the eastern part of the site, the remains of which are identified in two trenches, backfilled with modern debris. At the southern end of the site, excavation revealed the foundations of Manor House Farm, which is considered to date from the 17th century and was demolished in the mid-20th century. The foundations of part of the south and east elevations were identified, comprising sandstone and brick walls, with brick and tile floor surfaces. Modern made-ground was recorded to the north and west of the farm buildings; some of the deposits appeared to be imported industrial waste and may have been put down to form tracks or yards. |
