Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Malcolm and Lorna Berryman to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Otterbourne Manor, Otterbourne, Hampshire, centred on Ordnance Survey NGR SU 4640 2230. The medieval moated manor site of Otterbourne Manor is a Scheduled Monument (Hampshire SM 12055). Otterbourne Manor is a Grade II listed building. The Manor House appears to have been rebuilt in 1699 and incorporates elements from an earlier timber-framed house within its structure. The watching brief was undertaken as a condition of Scheduled Monument and planning consent for the demolition of a late 20th century extension and its replacement with a single storey extension. The watching brief was carried out from 30th June to 8th July 2009 during groundworks for the new extension. The earliest deposit revealed during the watching brief, apart from Valley Gravel, was a layer of re-deposited Valley Gravel in Trench 2, which contained a sherd of 16th century pottery. A late 17th/early 18th century wall was found to the south of the Manor House and may have been a boundary wall built at the same time as the house. Other features observed included a 19th century brick well and a late 19th/early 20th century drain. Finds recovered from a garden soil included residual late medieval and late 16th/17th century pottery sherds. |
