Abstract: | An excavation by Albion Archaeology at Stanbridge Lower School in 2006 revealed the remains of several early medieval enclosures. They lie in land which belonged to Stanbridge Manor, and form part of a network of rectangular enclosures identified by aerial photography in the mid-20th century, prior to the levelling of many earthworks in the area. Ceramic evidence indicates the enclosures were in use between the mid-11th and the 13th/14th centuries. This date range tallies with that already documented for the manor, which was created in the early 12th century and survived throughout the medieval period. Small assemblages of charred plant remains and animal bone provide further limited insight into the economic basis of the manor. | ||
