Marlboork Hall Farm, Harvest Hill Lane, Meriden, Warwickshire Archaeological Evaluation

In May 2002, Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation at Marlboork Hall Farm, Harvest Hill Lane, Meriden, Warwickshire (NGR SP 26471 84140) on behalf of Cassidy Developments. The farm is on the site of a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM 30010, a medieval moated manor complex). A sandstone and tile wall foundation built into the underlying subsoil was identified to the west of of the present hall building. The wall was situated over the site of a causeway on the line of the extant moat. Post-medieval tile and pottery were associated with the structure. The wall is much later in date than the original manor site and the likelihood is that it formed part of an outbuilding in the post-medieval period.
