Abstract: |
Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Rowlinson Construction Ltd to undertake a scheme of archaeological monitoring during the conversion of farm buildings and associated groundworks at Newall Green Farm, Newall Road, Wythenshawe, Manchester. Groundworks undertaken around the exteriors of all three buildings revealed a number of features associated with the development and adaptation of the farm complex over time. Though a number of extant outbuildings were clearly recognisable at the commencement of the works, further footings for additional outbuildings and structures were identified by the archaeological works. These include: a buried surface associated with a former lean-to and an outbuilding dating to the mid-19th century on the north-western side of Block C; a brick-built drain in the courtyard by the north-western wall of Block A and the base of a probable garden wall/gate-post in the gardens on the southern side of the same building. Excavations in the interiors of Blocks B and C revealed numerous instances of the levelling and re-surfacing of floors associated with re-purposing of the buildings, whilst various made-ground deposits around the outsides of all of the buildings attest to periods of ground improvement and levelling during development of the farm complex. |
