Abstract: |
Two small areas were surveyed in detail during the course of Time Team investigations at Aston Eyre. The first covered a farmyard to the south and east of the main barn / medieval hall; the second survey area comprised a lawn lying east of the farmhouse / gatehouse. It was hoped that the former might help in deciding whether a moat surrounded the complex. Survey over the latter area was intended to identify an original road leading to the gatehouse. Unfortunately the geophysical results were not very clear, though this was due to the nature of the site rather than any shortcoming of the technique. Although a band of low resistance readings was identified south of the barn, trial excavation merely revealed a thick deposit of waterlogged clay, with no signs of an infilled moat ditch. To the east of the gatehouse there were hints of a possible road surface in the data but the results were not totally convincing and they were never tested by excavation. |
