Site Event/Activity record ECH4536 - Watching Brief at Barrowmore Hall

Mike Morris visited site on the 14th of October 2004 to view an area of the hall exposed by the Estate during the construction of tennis courts. Well-preserved brick foundations for at least one room was visible c.4-700mm below the modern ground surface. No in situ flooring was apparent. The site appeared to be backfilled with demolition material including ?Ruabon floor tiles and brick, plaster fragments and metalwork etc. from internal fittings. The area observed may have been the Drawing Room, shown at the bottom left of the published plan (2). There is a high probability that most, if not all, the foundation footprint survives. The Barrowmore Estate Manager had a small collection of finds from the site in a store room.
