Abstract:
An archive assessment, building appraisal and trial trenching evaluation has been carried out at the proposed site of a new dwelling within the Walled Garden at The Old Manse, Morham. Information obtained from the NMRS indicates that the proposed development area lies in close proximity to significant archaeological remains. The former Morham Manse would appear to have been located within the walled garden and indeed the north gable wall appears to have been built into the garden wall. The manse was associated with the current 18th century parish church and was demolished c.1827. The archaeological evaluation has revealed a stone culvert running north-south, subsequently modified to take a clay pipe; the remnants of two areas of paving which may represent the remains of a garden path(s); and the remains of wall footings of what is probably the wall of the old manse springing from the gable end built into the garden wall. The finds recovered dated from the 15th to 20th centuries and were generally found mixed within topsoil and buried soils; they provide no firm indication of date for the features excavated. The building appraisal has confirmed that the buildings examined are of local architectural interest owing to the relationship between the Potting Shed and the former Manse and the presence of Bee Boles. The Potting Shed is currently used as a store and there is evidence that it has been slightly remodelled over time. The Garden/Kirkyard wall contains older elements, including what is probably the northern gable wall of the former Manse.
