Abstract: |
Three trench evaluation prior to the construction of two new buildings and an access road. Two of the three trenches contained a low density of archaeological remains. The edge of a large pit-like cut in Trench 3, in the southwest of the site, is speculated to be the west end of the infilled roadside arm of the known medieval moat. Its fills contained 19th-20th century debris, consistent with its mid 20th-century infilling as indicated by historic mapping.
A backfilled pond was encountered in Trench 1, in the north of the site. Although probably created in the 19th century and infilled as late as the 1970s, a quantity of residual medieval pottery was recovered from it. The presence of this pottery substantiates the identification of the moated enclosure as being of medieval origin. Other recorded remains in this trench comprised tree holes and a drainage gully, demonstrating landscaping and garden activity at the site during the post-medieval period. |
