Description
Three small trenches, west of the roadway to the car park, showed up to 0.4 m of topsoil overlying building debris, apparently derived from one of the early 18th century demolition phases of the outer court. This covered probable Jacobean make-up levels and a hall foundation, probably predating the layout of the house about 1605-16. These lower levels were largely unexcavated.
