Evaluation of a moated site which is to be partly restored during the creation of a public park, by J Robertson & R Poulton of SCAU for P & O Developments Ltd. Trenching across the line of the moat indicated that infilling had been recent. A number of sherds of whiteware of late 15th/early 16th century date were recovered from the inner side of the moat; a quantity of roof tile was also recovered, as was a quantity of slag. The moat is presumed to originate in the 12th-13th century, but no evidence for occupation at that date was recovered from these limited excavations. (300)
