Full Description
PRN 43532
A WATCHING BRIEF WAS CARRIED OUT DURING GROUNDWORKS FOR AN EXTENSION ON THE MANOR HOUSE, MANOR FARM, LITTLE CARLTON. A LARGE FEATURE WAS OBSERVED ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE EXTENSION, WHICH PROBABLY REPRESENTS PART OF THE MEDIEVAL OR EARLIER MOAT WHICH HAS BEEN ASSUMED TO HAVE ENCLOSED THE MANORIAL SITE. NO DATABLE MATERIAL WAS FOUND. THE WIDTH OF THE MOAT CANNOT NOT BE RELIABLY ASSESSED FROM THE OBSERVATIONS DURING THE WATCHING BRIEF. IT IS PROBABLE THAT THE MOAT FLUCTUATED BETWEEN A WATER-FILLED FEATURE AND A SILTED RUBBISH PIT THROUGHOUT THE MEDIEVAL AND POST MEDIEVAL PERIODS, WITH SUCCESSIVE RECUTS GRADUALLY PULLING THE DITCH CLOSER TO THE CHURCH. A LATE C13/C14 GREEN AND BROWN GLAZED POTTERY SHERD WAS FOUND CLOSE TO THE NORTH CORNER OF THE HOUSE. {1}{2}
