Abstract: |
This report records the excavations undertaken by Oakford Archaeology in 2012 and 2015 of the moated manor house at North Hall, Widecombe-in-the-Moor, Devon. The work comprised the hand-excavation of seven trenches. Trenches 2, 4 and 6 exposed the remains of a substantial, though heavily robbed, stone building and were designed to provide further insight into the distribution and layout of the building or buildings and their relationship with the moat and defences. Trenches 3 and 5 provided complete cross-section across the earthen defences along the inner edge of the moat where they were best preserved, while Trench 7 targeted anomalies identified in the field to the north of the site. The finds recovered from the site contained a small quantity of mid-10th to early 13th century pottery, while large quantities of medieval coarsewares, dating to the 13th-15th century were recovered, including two sherds of Valencian lustreware, a 15th century high status import from western Spain. By the early post-medieval period the assemblage is dominated by local coarsewares from North Devon and the Low Country. By the mid-17th century these are replaced by English wares. |
