Just removed Earth from an old raspberry patch I’m going to put new earth in there but also I’ve got well rotted horse manure do I Lay it in the bottom or mix it with the Earth Thanks

I think you have said before that your soil is fairly heavy, with clay in it.  If so, layers of manure in the bases of trenches can act like a sump and let all the water drain out into that bit.  Mix the manure with the earth and it will work better.
