Abstract: |
Two trenches were excavated within the grounds of the manor. The trench near to the former Washington Elm exposed a sequence of post-medieval deposits which ended with a limestone cobbled surface located directly below the present lawn. The other trench positioned southwest of the manor revealed a sequence of medieval ditches, all orientated north-south which appeared to have been recut at least twice. The pottery from the ditches suggested a date in the 12th or early 13th century AD. A layer cut by one of the ditches contained burnt hearth material llikely to have resulted from domestic occupation. These ditches may have formed a medieval plot boundary and be a continuation of the earthworks which were recorded in the field to the west of Sulgrave Manor. [Au] |
