Clarendon Palace, Wiltshire. Ground Penetrating Radar report for Warhorse Project, Department of Archaeology, University of Exeter.
Archaeological Surveys Ltd

Filename: Clarendon_palace_GPR.pdf (16 MB) Description: Ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd targeted two separate areas at Clarendon Palace in Wiltshire. The survey aimed to provide information relating to structural remains possibly associated with medieval stables. Several features of archaeological interest were located around these structures but very few features were identified within the interiors. In the south western part of the site a crossing wall was located in the interior of a building regarded at the 'great stable'. To the west of the building the remains of a substantial wall was located and this has been interpreted as part of the perimeter wall, although it appears to have been largely robbed away. A formal road/track heading east from the western gatehouse was also identified as well as potential structural remains to the north of an adjacent building referred to as the 'old hall'. Possible stables were targeted in the south eastern part of the site, and the survey has clarified the layout of several structures within this area and identified possible structural remains further to the west. Two possible ditch-like features were identified and these may be associated with the most southerly building. Linear anomalies appear below the adjacent inner earthen bank, associated with the bank and ditch boundary feature running through the southern part of the site, but it is unclear whether they relate to part of the construction of the bank or a pre-existing feature. |

Structures known as the "Great Stables", Tattershall Castle, Lincolnshire: Level 3 Historic Building Survey.

Filename: Tattershall_Castle_Stables_SBR_Triskele_H...V2.pdf (7 MB) Description: The structures known as the "Great Stables" at Tattershall Castle, Lincolnshire, were recorded by Triskele Heritage in May 2022 for the Warhorse Project (administered by the University of Exeter and the University of East Anglia). Tattershall Castle lies to the south-west of the village of Tattershall and to the south of Sleaford Road. The structures surveyed consist of a north-south orientated south range with an adjacent north range, orientated east-west. The structures lie within the L-shaped Outer Ward of Tattershall Castle, to the south-west of the mediaeval Outer Gate. Only the south and part of the east elevation of the south range survive as standing walls. The rest of the structures are presented as excavated foundations. Tattershall Castle was originally constructed for Robert de Tateshale during the 1230s. The complex was then significantly expanded in brick for Ralph Lord Cromwell during the 1430s and 1440s. The structures which were surveyed during this project were originally built during the mid-fifteenth century. Evidence was found for the presence of a two-storey building with tracery windows and heated chambers at the south end at both ground and first floor. The south range was originally divided into two spaces by a transverse wall. A brick threshold with stone jambs indicated an access into the south range via the east elevation. The north range was a secondary build but had intercommunication with the south range. The south range was probably built as a lodging range for household retainers which had offices or stores in the northern chambers. The building may have been remodelled as a stable during a second phase of use. It is not clear exactly when this took place, but it may have been during the early modern period. Excavations by William Weir, in 1912, revealed the presence of a possible spine drain for equine effluent, running the length of the south range, and tether rings were inserted into the east elevation. A third phase of use took place after the castle became a working farm in 1693. Illustrations made during the eighteenth and nineteenth century show the north end of the building in ruins whilst the south end was in use as a barn. The entire structure was a roofless ruin by 1870. It was excavated and conserved by Weir between 1912 and 1914. |
