Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology East carried out an archaeological watching brief at Manor Farm, Eltisley (TL 273 593) the first phase of which was over four days (22nd to 27th February 2012) during construction of a sewage treatment plant and associated service trenches and a soakaway. A second stage of monitoring is planned later in 2012. A dense concentration of Roman pits and ditches were found during the first phase of work in an area directly to the north of the moat surrounding Manor Farm. Two undated pits within the courtyard of the moated site may be Roman or later in date. These pits were sealed by a post-medieval and/or modern cobbled and brick surface which probably relate to a series of late 18th to early 19th century barns located within the eastern side of the moated site. A second stage of work took place between 1st and 6th July 2013. An area measuring 20m by 5m was stripped to the south of the manor house. Two Medieval ditches aligned north to south were recorded. These were later cut by a Post-Medieval ditch. To the east lay an undated post-hole. |
