A scatter of mid Saxon pottery was found, but no features. cAD 1200 a hall house with circular tile-on-edge hearth and associated timber buildings was constructed. In the early 14th century the hall was replaced by a large stone-built structure with angle buttresses. This building continued to stand but a new hall with two-storied wings (one with a cellar) was built c1400, and linked to a square kitchen.

Observation of building construction by Lesley Ketteringham and Elvey Humphreys in an area near the known Tudor building and probable 12th century manor site. Nothing of interest was noted. (251)
