NJ 98043 47829 An excavation took place at the ruined Aden Mansion (NJ94NE 63) between 29 April-12 May 2019. The ruin dates from 1758 when the Russel family purchased the estate from the Keith family who had owned it since the medieval period. Trenches targeted geophysical anomalies, including a fountain base and 1m deep stone-lined drain, as well as the walks of the mansion. Test trenches next to the ruin revealed an earlier building under the north wall which may be a pre-1759 structure. Further excavation may take place in 2020.
