Abstract: |
A small excavation and watching brief was carried out at South Pavilion, Wotton Underwood during 2011, as part of the construction of a sport pavilion including a swimming pool in the gardens of the house. Medieval house remains and associated pits were investigated. Previous work - comprising a desk-based assessment and an associated evaluation - indicated the presence of part of the medieval village of Wotton Underwood, extending from the church, to the east, under the present house and gardens. Subsequently, the works for the pool-construction revealed pits with a date range from the mid/late 11th to 14th centuries, which accorded with the date-range of features identified during the previous evaluation. The earliest feature, dating from the mid to late 11th century was a large pit extending beyond the south edge of excavation. Six pits dated from the late 11th to early 13th centuries, one of which was cut by the northeast/southwest-oriented gully of an enclosure. There were four pits associated with this phase dating from the early to mid 13th century. Deposits dating from the mid 13th to 14th centuries onwards were present beneath a stone cill representing part of a building. A small quantity of residual Roman pottery was recovered from the medieval features. To the north of the medieval activity was a low wall, parallel with the garden wall of the walled garden. The footings of a 19th-century glasshouse were also investigated. |
