23 The range was of secondary build to this structure. To the S. it survived intact to within a few cms. of the present ground surface, but was damaged to the N. An outstanding small find in one of the rooms to the N. was a lead bulla of Pope Alexander IV (1254-60. Dominic Powlesland commenced the excavation of an area about 20m x 22m S.E. of the other trench, and several phases of timber and stone structures were recognised: the former included postholes and slots probably pre-dating the first stone buildings of the priory. The area'chiefly contained a rectangular robber trench, over 1m wide, for a building on an E.-W. axis, with internal dimensions of about 12m x 4.4m. To the W. of this building was a range of rooms represented by dwarf walls, only partly lying within the area excavated. There was a sm411 lean-to structure against the S. side of the main building, containing two Cl3th stone coffins. The main building in this area, unlike the others excavated to the N.W., continued in use after the dissolution of the priory, presumably in the early Cl5th. Alterations including the insertion of a large fireplace may suggest conversion to a farmhouse, which, on coin evidence, remained in use until at least 1700. FLEET MARSTON, Bucks. - M.E. Farley & W.J. Lindsay for Bucks. 6ount4 Museum As the nave area of this redundant church was due to be lowered prior to laying a concrete floor, the architect acting for the Redundant Churches Fund invited advance excavation, and this was carried out during October and November 1975 with considerable assistance from members of the County Museum Archaeological Group. Under=floor heating and Victorian box pews had destroyed much, and numerous graves intersected the remaining area. None of the graves were excavated. Although Cl2th occupation was present, it was of a domestic nature and the excavation substantially confirmed the Royal Commission on Historic Monuments assessment of the structure. The earliest phase was represented by a small rubble-filled trench crossing at the chancel arch and integral with the first arch. This trench never carried a wall and had a lime floor laid immediately on top. It incorporated pieces of peg-hole tile of a fabric unlikely to occur before AD1200 and can be considered to date the first phase of construction of the church, unless evidence sealed be7 neath the chancel floor should prove otherwise. The rebuilding of part of the south wall of the nave, probably in the Cl4th-C15th was also confirmed. WOODSTOCK, Oxon. - George Speake Fragments of med".eval floor tiles, undecorated apart from a greenish-black glaze, were found in the bank of Blenheim lake, near the site of the 'King's Palace' Blenheim Park. SOME NORTHAMPTONSHIRE MOATED SITES BARTON SEAGRAVE - J.M. Steane, J.N.R. Harker & Kettering Grammar School Local History and Archaeological Society. (Fig. 4) A survey was carried out of the two moated sites called "Castle Earthworks". Nicholas de Segrave obtained a licence to crenellate his dwelling-house at Barton in Edward I's reign. (Cal Pat.R.1307-13, 303) and the site is referred to as a castle in the time of John de Segrave (Inq.P.M. 27 Ed.3. Bridges MS Bodleian MS Top Northants C3 p.IO2). The more S. of the two sites is situated on the 225' contour line below the village of Barton Seagrave overlooking the valley of the River Ise. It consists of a rectangular platform, 210' N.-S. and 125' E.-W. Part of the platform has been dug out at the S.W. corner. An elderly inhabitant of Barton Seagrave remembers stone being taken earlier in the C. to build the stables at Barton Hall. A moat of varying width, 50'-70', completely surrounds the platform except for a narrow causeway on the E. side facing the present village- The moat was clearly meant to be filled with water. There is a spring on the S. side and a stream trickles down the hill towards the river. Substantial banks ring in the moat on the W. (208' long) and N. (165' long) sides. Irregular bumps in the field between this and the more N. earthwork may indicate former croft buundaries. The second site lies between the 225' and 220' contour line. It is on the same alignment as the first and consists of a roughly 25' square platform. Again considerable trouble has been taken to ensure a wet moat. A stream flows past the earthworks on the N. side and is diverted into the moat which retains it by a large bank 130' long with a W. right angled extension of 80'. The cen-
