Abstract: |
During March 2004 ASC Ltd undertook an archaeological evaluation at Moat Cottage, Caldecote, near Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes, in advance of development. The site was located within a moated enclosure, possibly of a medieval manor. The fieldwork revealed the northwestern segment of the moated complex. The section of the infilled moat showed it was 1.75m deep and 9m wide. The earliest fill of the moat contained Victorian material. This evidence suggests that this segment of the moat had been well managed and kept clean up until this period, when the partial silting up of the moat occurred. The Victorian dumping is likely to be from the adjacent Moat Cottage. No other features were encountered within the evaluation trench. The manor is thought to be situated more centrally within the moated area. |
