Description
NRHE data transfer:
Site code: BRDH14. Down Hall is a Domesday manorial site on the northern edge of the historic settlement of Bradwell-on-Sea. The proposed development site is a rectangular area in the landscaped grounds of Down Hall. Five evaluation trenches (total length, 80m) were positioned within the footprint of a terrace of six new units and a pair of linked care units. There were four archaeological features: post-medieval/modern pits and a ditch. All were associated with the landscaping of the Down Hall grounds. There was no evidence of buildings connected with an earlier medieval manorial hall, or the later Tudor hall. Information from OASIS Online Form.
