Abstract: |
GPR and resistance survey in and around St Nicholas''s Church failed to show any evidence for the ''lost'' chapel. Although a few targets were identified, none suggested that substantial wall foundations were surviving in situ and excavation confirmed these assertions. The latter also confirmed that there had been extensive landscaping and consolidation; in fact the only surviving archaeology related to what might have been peripheral building foundations of a later date. The magnetic and resistance survey over the earthworks at Manor Farm proved far more positive. In particular the resistance survey provided a relatively clear plan of building foundations associated with the medieval manor. Some wall lines are easily discernible but elsewhere it proved difficult to differentiate between rubbles spreads, floor bases and courtyards. Elements of formal gardens are also likely to be present in the data. The magnetic survey complemented the resistance survey; one very large and distinctive ferrous-type anomaly proved, as suspected, on excavation to be a dump of buried metal drum and canisters. |
