Abstract: |
Excavations in the vicinity of Chawton House found much residual evidence of previous medieval occupation, but little that was considered to be in-situ. Previous documentary research had suggested the manor had been of some importance during this period, being frequently visited by Henry III (1216-72) and his son, Edward I (1272-1307). The only structural element of possible medieval date was a stone wall found near the furthest extremity of the excavations, 250m NW of the house. This was thought to have been part of a medieval precinct wall. The present house seemed to have been built partly on a levelled platform, with a short infilled valley to the north that contained residual medieval pottery and building materials. A number of late medieval/early post-medieval rubbish pits were located at various points around the present building. [Au(abr)] |
