Abstract: |
Archaeological excavations at the site of Poyle House, a derelict Georgian country house, revealed limited evidence of earlier buildings on the site. These comprised the beamslots of a possible farm range, and structural remains of the north wall of a medieval house. The buildings formed part of the medieval Poyle Manor, and limited artefactual evidence suggests that occupation began during the late eleventh or twelfth centuries. Some evidence for the layout of the house and outbuildings in the Georgian period, and later, was also recorded. Five worked flints were recovered, all residual in later contexts. Pieces present were of Mesolithic and Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date (2000--1700 BC). Includes specialist reports on the archaeological and historical background; the pottery; building material; the metal objects; worked flint; animal bones; charred and waterlogged plant remains; and insects and molluscs. |
