Abstract: |
Excavations were carried out prior to possible development of the site of Manor Farm, Yaxley. Previous work had suggested the presence of a moat, perhaps enclosing the original site of the manor house. The excavations proved that no such moat existed in that area, the cut features observed being part of an extensive series of ponds, supplied by a ditch system. Pottery, and one earlier feature, attested a Roman presence in the area. Several ditches were revealed dating to the 12th-14th century. No direct evidence was found to locate the site of the original manor house, which may lie to the north. A building survey suggested that the standing buildings, including the present house, were all rather later than had been presumed. The house and barns contained reused earlier elements, but generally dated to the 18th and 19th centuries. Records were also made of several 19th and 20th century farmyard features not expected to survive the redevelopment. [Au(abr)] |
