| Abstract: |
Fourteen trenches, which varied considerably in size depending upon the types of archaeological features targeted, were excavated. Three trenches to the north-west of the hall revealed two counter-scarp ditches, which may have been Iron Age or medieval in date, presumably to fortify the hillside. To the north and north-east of the hall, the foundations of two buildings were uncovered. These were thought to date to the 16th century, as depicted on a map of that period. Several different types of yard surface were uncovered, the earliest being contemporary with the timber framed hall constructed in 1556. Quarrying took place on the site in the 19th century, and evidence of a farmyard midden base and a 19th century dairy was also found. [Au(abr)] |
