Abstract:		 The site lies within an area of archaeological interest, which is situated within the historic village core of Osgathorpe, with origins in the later early medieval periods. The Manor House Farm is a Grade II listed yeomans farmhouse of late 17th century construction (MLE12322). The site is bounded by a fourteenth century Church of St. Mary the Virgin and residential development to the north, with agricultural farmland dominating the wider landscape. Excavation revealed two probable Medieval structures relating to a potentially mid-high status dwelling and an earlier property boundary, replaced in the later Post-Medieval period by a secondary wall which functioned as a county boundary until at least 1925. Excavation revealed the presence of at least three stone walls of archaeological significance, and later 15th century earthenwares mixed with later Post-Medieval material identified within demolition deposits. These deposits most likely relate to the construction of the current farmhouse, dated to the later c.17th century. Datable ceramic material puts the site into two distinct phases of occupation, with the concentration of Medieval domestic waste dated to the 13th and 14th centuries. Chilvers Coton wares identified within the pottery assemblage indicate that the site was partially provisioned from the south and indicates a higher status of occupation, although they may represent by-products of the nearby Church of St. Mary the Virgin. Remains of a modern brick and mortar wall identified to the north of the trench may belong to a later boundary, although its form and function could not be elucidated by this evaluation. Its narrow width suggests that it would not have been loadbearing.
