Abstract: |
Birmingham Archaeology was commissioned in March 2010 by the Museums Arts and Tourism service of Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council to undertake a programme of archaeological investigation and recording at West Bromwich Manor House, Sandwell, West Midlands (centred on NGR SP 005528 94308). Specifically, a number of drainage culverts around the manor house were identified during works and highlighted for recording. A single stone-lined culvert with brick-arched vault was recorded extending beneath the forecourt area fronting the late 16th/ early 17th-century gatehouse range. This culvert was fed by two smaller drainage features running perpendicularly from the east. A further culvert was observed to the south-west of the manor house complex, within the original line of the moat and adjacent to the 16th-century kitchen range. It would appear logical to assume that the recorded features form part of a single drainage system, supported by a historical description of the gatehouse culvert as extending to 200ft in length. |
