| Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on The Vyne, a Grade I Listed Building that dated from the early Tudor period. A narrow trench revealed a substantial cut feature that was at least 7m wide and over 1.6m deep. Provisional interpretation suggested that it might have been the moat believed to have surrounded the medieval manor. Occasional pieces of ceramic in the fill suggested that it had been backfilled during the mid/late-17th century. A possible brick structure was found in a further cut, possibly beyond the edge of the conjectured moat. This was very crudely made with reused materials, and did not seem to be parallel with the existing Stone Gallery. It was not known what this feature represented as only a small proportion was exposed. It appeared to have a built end at the point it was exposed but it was so badly made that this could not be said with any certainty. This feature also appeared to have been destroyed at the same time as the large cut described above. [Au(abr)] |
