Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out at a site where an evaluation and a survey of standing buildings had previously recorded post-medieval farm buildings and evidence of medieval occupation. Two Romano-British rock-cut ditches were revealed, whilst excavation inside the main farmhouse revealed a group of 11th century post holes and a stakehole, containing sherds of domestic pottery. These features were suggested to have formed elements of a timber building, possibly a dwelling. Evidence of later medieval occupation of the farmhouse consisted of sections of upstanding masonry and the foundations of a 14th century stone building. Sections of the medieval masonry were retained during later development of the farmhouse, which appeared to have been extensively redeveloped and expanded during the 16th-17th centuries. A range of new outbuildings also appeared to have been built at that time. [Au(adp)] |
