Summary

Bury Manor was recorded by various 19th century maps and documents as existing here. It was shown as a group of large buildings with a lake in grounds to west. However, the ruins of any buildings are currently obscured by the heavily overgrown vegetation. Test pitting in 2013 recovered medieval to post-medieval pottery sherds; undated and post-medieval to modern ceramic building material; post-medieval clay tobacco pipe fragments; post-medieval to modern glass sherds and undated animal bones and clinker.
