Abstract: |
The watching brief monitored the general ground reduction of an area measuring c.289sq m and the excavation of foundation trenches for a new glasshouse, rill and retaining wall, all located to the east of the house/former abbey, and north of the formal lawn. The small area of investigation revealed limited remains, comprising three pits and a possible robber trench or boundary ditch containing domestic refuse dating generally between the 13th and 14th centuries, from the daily functioning of the abbey. Deposits
of mortar, brick, stone and tile in the upper portions of the robber trench/boundary ditch, along with two shallow deposits containing similar material, are interpreted as demolition debris that may or may not derive from the dissolution of the monastery in the 16th century. |
