Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A series of archaeological excavations were conducted at Bendyshe Farm, Bottisham by Northamptonshire Archaeology, in advance of development. Bendyshe Farm was the post-medieval successor to a medieval moated manor that lies on its southern side. The moat lies along the course of a natural tributary, canalised in recent years. Evidence of scattered pits over the lower-lying ground indicated periodic exploitation of springs from the late Neolithic onwards. However, agricultural activity did not occur until the middle to late Saxon period. Following the Norman Conquest, the earlier enclosure pattern was reorganised into rectangular plots. Grain was processed and stored nearby until the 12th century when the ditches were filled. The land was acquired in 1329 by Thomas Bendish who built the moated site, but beyond the moat it was unenclosed. A farmyard was created in the 16th century to the north-west where a number of latrines were found, and deposits of soil indicate that other waste material was brought here and levelled out. The land continued to be used in this way until the beginning of the 19th century. | |||||||||||||||||
