NHER 33616 (Monument record) - Possible manorial building and water features in Ladywell Field

1997. Sedgeford Historical and Archaeological Research Project. Electrical Resistivity Survey. Dovecot Field.
Results indicate a large dry rectangular feature towards the centre of the field; a wet linear anomaly running adjacent to it, and beyond these several smaller wet linear features. These confirm the evidence of above ground earthworks and can best be interpreted as a possible structural platform with an associated ditch. At this early stage, a tentative hypothesis is that these features represent manorial building foundations and associated water features - boat bays or fish ponds.
