Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by The Ramsbury Manor Foundation to undertake an archaeological watching brief, during development works at Ramsbury Manor, Whites Hill, Ramsbury, Wiltshire, in order to monitor work on the Grade I listed Manor and the remains of its associated walled garden. Within all three of the trenches monitored a number of layers were identified within the soil sequences pertaining to various phases of demolition and levelling/landscaping of the area. Structural remains consisting of brick and flint walls with foundations of flint nodules and mortar reflecting the footprint of earlier buildings were also identified. Within all the Trenches a number of layers were identified within the soil sequences pertaining to various phases of demolition and levelling/landscaping of the area. Structural remains consisting of brick and flint walls with foundations of flint nodules and mortar reflecting the footprint of earlier buildings were also identified. These were most extensive within Trench 3, where internal and external walls were identified along with bedding layers and foundations. Modern pits were also identified with the remnants of wall foundations north of the current manor within Trench 1. Elsewhere within Trench 1 the backfilled remains of a continuation of the extant ha-ha were observed. |
