Abstract: |
Evaluation trenching was undertaken in two areas at Glendon Hall. Trenches 1-7 were opened to the south-east of the Hall with the aims of defining the extent of the known medieval cemetery and locating Glendon church. Trenches 8-11, to the east of the Hall, were intended to further determine the form and date of the known deserted medieval settlement. A high status Romano-British cremation burial was excavated in the north-eastern area of the deserted medieval settlement. Three glass vessels and charred figs were found with the burial. All except the southern extent of the medieval inhumation cemetery were determined with a relatively high level of confidence. Landscaping to the south of the known cemetery area may have destroyed burials both in this direction and to the west. The remains of 21 individuals were recovered. At least two other graves were observed in the western extension to Trench 1. The possible location of Glendon church remains uncertain, although there is some structural evidence to suggest that a building had stood in a similar position to the extant 19th-century Glendon House Barns. Some structural evidence for the medieval settlement was recorded, in the form of post-holes, a sill-beam slot for a rectangular structure, and rubble and daub foundations, but it was not possible to date the settlement or the individual elements more precisely. |
