Abstract: |
An evaluation revealed the damaged remains of a number of substantial faced limestone walls over 1m thick, and datable to before the 14th century. These were associated with numerous fragments of high quality window glass painted with heraldic devices, along with white roof- and green-glazed ridge-tiles, and worn slip-decorated floor-tiles. All of the evidence indicated a secular building of the highest status, and dating to the 12th-14th centuries. There was little doubt that the remains were those of the Beaumont Palace within whose precinct the site lies. Carved masonry fragments were found indicating their association with the Whitefriar's priory; there was also some artefactual evidence of high status Middle Saxon activity in the immediate vicinity, although no features of this date were noted. A ditch, perhaps of prehistoric date, was also revealed. [Au] |
