Full Description
Excavations of the manor house site by Guy Beresford in late summer 1974 revealed a sequence of 3 circular houses (ranging from 8.7m to 12m in diameter) associated with a drove way, animal pounds, a pit and compound; and occupied from c50-200 AD. The site was surrounded by a timber palisade. The full extent of Romano-British occupation was not determined but a spread of occupational and structural debris such as pottery, coins, flue and roof tiles and a section of stone pillar, indicated that there had been a substantial building close to the area of excavation in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD, succeeding the original farmstead. See Beresford (1987) for detailed description of the Roman phases. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}
