Abstract: |
The archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the 9th December 2019, to inspect groundworks for the erection of a building situated to the rear of The Manor House. Following on from this, further monitoring of two trenches for drainage was undertaken on the 8th January 2020. The excavations at the development site to the rear of The Manor House have exposed made ground that was different in character across the site. The ground make-up layers variously comprised deposits of gravel which corresponded with material laid during the construction of the driveway; areas of small- to medium-sized rubble, mortar, and stones, and a deposit of coal debris, each of which appear to have been used to create a level surface for the garden to the rear of the house. The foundation course of a sandstone wall with lime mortar bond was observed in Trench 2. |
