Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the construction of side and rear extensions, and internal alterations to the Listed Building. The most interesting feature exposed during the excavation of the footing trenches was a chalk surface. This was dated by pottery from layer 104, which was stratigraphically earlier, to the 18th century. It was likely that this was an internal surface and formed part of the post-medieval additions to the building that were visible on the tithe map of 1841. A large greensand block visible in the same section did not appear to represent an 'in situ' wall, although it was possible that they originally came from one. Layers 102, 104 and 106 were late post-medieval soils, dateable from tile and pottery type. The results of the watching brief on the internal structure of the building broadly confirmed the conclusions of the earlier building report which stated that the oldest surviving section of the Old Bell was architecturally and stylistically dated to the 15th century. An addition to the eastern exterior wall of the 15th century building was cited in the report and was also clearly visible during the watching brief. [Au(adp)]
