Abstract: |
Three trenches were dug by hand inside the manor house, a further two were excavated outside, together with four machine-excavated trenches. Geophysical survey was carried out across the lawn and garden and in a field to the south of the manor house. Information was added to the known plan of the Late Saxon timber hall which suggested that the structure might be of at least three stages, with a post-built structure being replaced by one with wall trenches. Evidence for the previously unrecorded south wall trench of the timber hall was found. The timber hall was already believed to have been rebuilt at least once before its replacement by a stone hall in the 13th century. Evidence of prehistoric activity, including an Iron Age ditch, a small medieval stone quarry and a post-medieval rubbish pit and yard surface were also recorded. |
