- Abstract
Archaeological investigations revealed evidence of the manorial complex and Benedictine alien priory cell (dissolved in 1391) at Harmondsworth, chiefly comprising structural features delineating two large timber buildings dated to the late 11th to mid-12th century. These were probably an aisled barn and a domestic building (either part of or ancillary to the manor house). The latter was represented by wall trenches for posts and possibly baseplates, and was constructed in two or more phases. It began as an oblong building containing at least two rooms, which was later extended to the north and west. Other features broadly dating to this period were four pits and a ditch. Two 13th-/14th-century ditches may have defined an enclosure associated with the manor house, situated further south.
