Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment and evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed residential development of the site. No archaeological remains had been noted in the area of proposed development. The site lay outside of the early medieval ecclesiastical enclosure, behind properties fronting the southern eastern portion of the present High Street. The area had been used for gardens and orchards and light horticulture from at least the mid-17th century until the present day. Field evaluation of the site identified drainage ditches containing abraded medieval and late medieval pottery sherds, in addition to post-medieval and modern material. The lack of alluvial deposits adjacent to the present course of the Brook Dam suggested that this was an artificial cut, probably of the Saxon or early medieval period. [Au(abr)]
