Abstract: |
SCOPE OF ANALYSIS
The analysis was undertaken on a single approximately 7m length of wall external but attached to the Huntercombe buildings. The analysis did not include any sections of the building other than those directly adjacent to the section of wall.
FIELDWORK METHODS AND RECORDING
THE BASE SURVEY
The base survey for the present programme of archaeological recording was conducted at 1 :20 using level and hand-tapes, measurements within this survey is accurate to plus or minus 5cm, although it is intended solely for archaeological use.
THE DRAWN RECORD
A series of annotations were made to the survey drawings, with additional details added to allow the reconstruction of basic elevations and brickwork construction.
THE PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD
A full black and white negative and colour slide photographic record was made by OA of all features and details.
THE WRITTEN RECORD
Written descriptions of the structure were made as part of the annotated drawings, additional notes were taken as appropriate. Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out archaeological and historical analysis of a small section of wall to the west of Huntercombe manor. The wall was found to be significantly altered and containing only a single blocked entrance. All distinguishing features of the walls form were proved to be of later date to the primary construction, the materials of which date the fabric to before 1700. |
