Abstract:		 The aim of the project was to investigate and assess the surviving archaeology surrounding the site of the proposed new building at Marden Court Farm. The two trenches revealed a well preserved earthwork, probably medieval in date, with a possible fortification along its summit. Cut into and running parallel with the edge of this earthwork was a linear ditch and two rows of postholes. At the moment it is not clear whether the purpose of the earthwork and the structures on it were defensive or simply land division. The position of the structure could be to control the trading route along the river Lugg and could have therefore just been a permanent marker on the landscape which people would have known to stop at. It is possible that people were living or working in the area behind the earthwork due to the large quantities of C13-14th pottery recovered.
