Abstract:		 The investigation consisted of an area measuring 6.1m by 12.0m, in which topsoil and other overburden was removed by machine down to the surface archaeological features cut into the natural subsoil. The archaeological remains consisted of two broadly N/S ditches, three pits, a NNE/SSW gully and a post-hole. The archaeological features were cut into the natural sandy, gravely silts of the River Blackwater floodplain and overlain by a thick deposit of made/disturbed ground that was probably derived through previous landscaping. All features and deposits were sealed by a 0.25m thick layer of garden topsoil. Gully 09 and ditch 03/07 both contained prehistoric pottery, with the pottery from ditch segment 03 dating to the Middle Iron Age, probably the 1st century BC, and this evidence suggests the possibility of further Iron Age activity in the surrounding area. Ditch 19 remained undated but was probably the backfilled continuation of an existing boundary ditch to the rear of the church and graveyard to the north of the site. This had been replaced in garden of the vicarage by a culvert built in the Victorian period that drained to the stream to the south. The pits or possible post holes that lined the ditch could have represented a fence line associated with that boundary. No finds were recovered from the made/disturbed ground or topsoil that could be associated with more recent development of the site. Furthermore, no Roman, Saxon or medieval features or finds were encountered.
