TN 146765. The northernmost of two moated enclosures was excavated before levelling for farm purposes. It had an irregular shape with rounded corners, contrasting with the well-defined outline of the southern moat. Features of the earliest occupation, shallow ditches and postholes suggesting a large building and attendant enclosure of the ?11th-12th century manor house, were truncated when the moat was dug in Period 2. A presumed aisled hall was then erected which in its first phase was 35ft by at least 14ft, and in its second a little larger Associated with it was pottery of late 12th, 13th and early 14th centuries, with polychrome sherds of mid-14th century in the destruction level. Comment by Rigold on this building, with its exceptionally large post-sockets, indicates its archaic nature with no analogies nearer in space or time than Cheddar. Documentary evidence suggests Brome was the manor of Hugh de Avilers of Domesday Book. The identity of the second moat remains enigmatic without excavation. | |||||||||||||
