Abstract: |
The footprints of three building plots were targeted for open area excavation following geophysical survey. Evidence for the early occupation of the site included a buried soil, predating the excavation of the moat. The moat and a second contemporary ditch both with external banks were probably constructed in the 13th century. The land subsequently returned to cultivation with the reinstatement of ridge and furrow at the western end of the site. Few remains of the 16th-17th century house were found, only the 20th century extension cut the subsoil. Part of the 18th century barn and associated yard surfaces were found to the south of the house. [Au(abr)] |
