Abstract:

There was no evidence of activity on the site prior to the early medieval period; specifically the 11th or 12th century. A number of boundary ditches were then established approximately parallel with the droveway. These ditches appeared to have been replaced by a ditch on a new alignment dating to the later medieval period. All these boundaries seemed to have gone by the 15th century, when a large pond occupied the north-west part of the site. This feature appeared to have been infilled by the 17th or 18th century, and with the exception of the boundary ditch along the eastern side of the site, no later features were found and the site was clearly old pasture and orchard probably dating back into the 19th century or earlier.
