Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring was carried out during the excavation of footing trenches for replacement walls within a building. Four of the trenches contained no features of archaeological significance, although the subsoil through which they were excavated consistently produced fragments of Roman pottery and tile, together with modern debris. The east side of a fifth trench butted against the rough, boulder chalk footing of an existing wall, which had originally been the west wall of the medieval property. Some or all of the footing may have been original; its north end was obscured by a 19th century soakaway. A sixth trench revealed a pit or ditch which contained some large fragments of Roman pottery, including three nearly complete pots. A 1.7m length of greensand wall footing which was of typically Roman construction and was over 2m deep at one end was recorded in a further trench. It was concluded that the earliest feature at the site had been a small ditch, probably dating from the 2nd century AD. A very large, deep feature had been superimposed over the ditch during the Roman period, and a stone wall with exceptionally deep footings had been constructed over the infilled feature. The west wall of the medieval building had also required deep footings to allow for the soft fill. [AIP]
