Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Todwick Manor House at NGR SK 49810 84247. The Manor House lies within the Scheduled Ancient Monument boundary of Todwick Manor House moated site (SAM no. 13231). The programme of archaeological works was required to assess the impact of a proposed two-storey and single-storey rear extension and was undertaken under the terms of Scheduled Monument Consent. Two trenches measuring 3m x 2m and 4m x 1.5m were excavated to the north of Manor Drive. Trench 1, located in the northern area of the proposed extension, identified the foundations of a stone wall. This wall appears to be the western extent of a northern range of the 'old manor house', depicted on the 1892 OS map. The wall lay 1.06m below ground level and was insubstantial, suggestive of a later phase post-medieval extension or lean-to against the west of the north range. The remainder of deposits recorded within Trench 1 were of 19th century in date. Trench 2, located in the south-eastern area of the proposed extension, revealed an earlier 20th-century surface of bricks overlying 18th- to 19th-century deposits. The latter deposits overlay possible medieval or early post-medieval activity, 0.8m below ground level (bgl), with a small pit or post-hole, containing 15th- to 16th-century Coal Measures Purple ware, cut through a shallow rubble deposit. In trenches 1 and 2 sterile clay deposits were observed at the base of the trenches, probably upcast material from the construction of the moat, or natural geology. |
