Description

An archaeological watching brief was carried out at the scheduled site of Thunderley Hall. Parts of a single cut feature, that correlate with the results of previous monitoring works were identified to be the west side of the original moat that enclosed the historic hall. Although the date of the construction of the moat was not established, it became infilled in the post-medieval period and had the carcass of a cow disposed of in it. No demonstratively medieval remains were identified by the watching brief.
