Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Although there has in the past been no firm evidence-based knowledge of the site of the manor house in Potterne of the Bishop of Salisbury, local tradition claims that the buildings were located in the Great Orchard field abutting upon Court Hill. Between 1961 and 2007 several searches, four by excavation and two by resistivity, gradually revealed the probable location of the site. In 2007 eleven trenches, guided by resistivity survey, uncovered footings of medieval style similar to those of other local buildings. Pottery dated to the thirteenth century was found at the base of the footings, while a large quantity of fragments of ceramics, animal bones and stone roof tiles was also recovered. With no overall plan evident it is nonetheless concluded that the high status materials, including worked ashlar and encaustic tiles, would have belonged to a magnate of the Church. | |||||||||
