| Abstract: |
Five trenches were excavated to the south of an existing water-filled pond feature. The evaluation confirmed that the pond feature were the remains of a medieval moat with evidence of a fourth arm of the moat and additional ditch and wall features not previously recorded. The finds suggested that the fourth arm of the moat was re-cut in the 17th and 18th centuries and in-filled in the late 18th or early 19th century, probably about the time that the existing hall was built. Two linear ditches were identified on the eastern side of the site to the south of the moat. The ealier ditch contained 16th century pottery and was rich in palaeoenvironmental material. The later ditch was less substantial but very rich in artefacts of the late 17th and early 18th century. Both of these may relate to the moat and may have brought water down slope from the south.
