Abstract:		 The excavation of seven test pits revealed structural archaeology, including wall footings and floor or yard surfaces, in all but two test pits. There was almost certainly a building, possibly of two construction phases, in the area of development, which may have been late medieval in date and seemed to have been continually occupied and adapted until at least the 18th century. Although no in situ dateable finds were recovered from within or below the structural remains, some of the demolition layers contained building material, including two fragments of worked architectural stone, which suggested the presence of a stone-built structure of some pretension, in Gothic style, on or close to the site. Most of the in situ structural features pre-dated the 19th century and some of the building material recovered from demolition deposits was dateable to the 16th/17th century. A direct relationship between the standing walls to the east of the swimming pool and the buried remains was not established, but it seemed likely that they belonged to the same building complex, possibly forming part of the original manor house. The extent of the surviving remains could not be ascertained due to the limited size of the test pits, but the anomalies detected by geophysical survey prior to the test pit investigation may provide a reliable indication, since the five pits which contained surviving archaeology were located over geophysical anomalies, while the two negative trenches were not. The build up of levelling deposits and garden soils over the in situ wall footings and surfaces suggested that the site was used as gardens following demolition and clearance of the building superstructure.
