Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out at the Grade II listed Moneypot Hill Farm, Redgrave on the site of the former timber-framed cottage that was irreparably damaged by fire in February 2006. The building was modest, constructed in two main stages in the mid and late 16th century probably by tenant farmers. A chimney was inserted in the 17th century and the building extended in the 18th century. Around the turn of the 19th century part of the original mid 16th century building was demolished. All of the archaeological evidence of the mid-late 16th century range was ephemeral and without the prior knowledge of the building would have been probably impossible to interpret. All of the building evidence occurred within the depth of the 16th century topsoil and would be expected to be lost to any agricultural activity or reworking of the soil and therefore would have been invisible in the course of most archaeological excavations. The house constructed in the 16th century had been built on a fresh site with no evidence of a medieval building or earlier activity. |
