Abstract: |
From 26th January to 18th February 2009 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording in association with construction of new tennis courts, access route and associated works. The work was commissioned by DOE Sport. The site is occupied by a sports hall with associated facilities, including, hard and grassed courts and pitches, accommodation blocks and access roads. In the western part of the site, the main administrative buildings occupy the Grade I Listed medieval and Tudor house. To the south of the main house, several other historic buildings survive, including a 15th century dovecote and a number of former barns and agricultural buildings of contemporary date . The site of the new clay tennis court lies within the original enclosure of the medieval monastic precinct; therefore high potential existed for medieval and post medieval remains to be encountered. No archaeological features were present and no finds were recovered in the area of works. |
