33.02 The Saxo-Norman grid to the south of the site is shown in smaller red squares, each measuring 2 poles, with boundary ditches and buildings all stemming from the late Saxon ditch CF29 and using the same point at the junction between CF34 and CF28. Ditch CF34 made an outer enclosure with CF43; this was expanded with CF38. The line of CF70 extended coincides with the earlier planned layout in black

33.08 Plan of phase 5.2, late 12th century; landscaping shifted the boundary of the northern court further south with a bank, road, and fences. The east-west length of ditch CF29 was backfilled. The third survey line was employed again for the layout of high status masonry block S19. Structures to the west of the high status masonry core, S20, S21, and S23 were all built according to the original alignment. S23 echoed the form of its predecessor S86 but on a larger scale. The S24 and S25 complex was demolished

33.09 Plan of phase 5.3, early to mid-13th century; notwithstanding the complexity of the massive expansion of building numbers some clear patterns emerge. Buildings and fences were upgraded to stone. Staff quarters S30 and the east-west road continued with the second line. Barns S35 and S52 replaced S24 and S25 continuing with the original layout despite a break; so did agricultural Structures 36, 37, 38, 40 and 103, along with S23 and S29 to the west of the core. S27 was built to fit with S19 and S28. Three buildings followed a fourth line, S43, S81 and S109; there may be a fifth for S47
