| Abstract: |
The east wall on the site was recorded by photogrammetry, with work being carried
out on both the east and west faces of the wall. The recording was that of a Level 3
(HE 2016). At a later date the south wall on the site was recorded by photogrammetry
to a similar standard. The walls were recorded with photogrammetry. It is apparent that there are certain
aspects to the walls that can help to create a narrative for the site and a narrative for
early Barton. The walls were located on the east and south-west edge of the site.
The south-west wall is considered to be the older of the two; it contained s series of
large quoins on its southeast end. The return wall to this south-west wall had been
removed and replaced by a breeze block wall. The end wall that had been removed
was shown on photographs at the turn of the century, the structure contained a Gothic
arch with a 13th to 14th century Early English or Decorated profile. It is presumed
that this structure is a decayed building of that date. In the central part of the wall
there is a series of quoins, either part of a door or a return wall. At the west end of the
wall there are two blocked windows. This structure is thought likely to be part of a
medieval hall house.
The evaluation uncovered the remains of a significant and large ditch at the west end
of the site. It was probably the Pale that was recorded with a Lyttel House that was
associated with William Orchard a master mason at Magdalene College in the late
15th century. The Headington Inclosure Map of 1805 appears to show a curving
boundary on the east side of Barton Village Road, which may be a relic boundary
marking the Pale. If so it is apparent that the hamlet may have formed within this
boundary.
The east wall on the site was also recorded, and appears to show a further series of
phases of activity. It had a dwarf wall on its east side, and probably south and north
sides; with a foundation identified for the west wall. There was a doorway located at
the south end of the building, which had quoins on the south side that formed part of
the south-west wall. The north quoins are not as large and the form of the build is
different. The stone surround appears to have extended up around the doorway on the
southeast side of the building. This building is considered to butt up to the southern
building. The upper part of this structure was probably timber framed. This building
was probably an annexe to the south building, which was probably 14th to 15th century
in date. |
