Abstract:		 The site lies immediately to the east of the medieval Parish church of St Peter. This is a Grade I Listed Building and contains fabric of probably 13th century date, although the building was heavily altered during the 15th century. The development site is located in an area marked on the 1880-1890 OS map as the site of the 'keeper's cottage', which was demolished by the early 20th century. It was considered possible that archaeological features and/or artefacts associated with medieval and post-medieval activity in this area might survive within the footprint of the development. The site area was roughly rectangular and measured c. 40m x 20m. The groundworks for a new car park area involved an overall ground reduction of between 0.9-2m. Access to the churchyard was gained through a 10m hedgebank breach, previously undertaken by the Baring-Gould Trust. The groundworks were carried out in March 2009 without an archaeological presence. A subsequent new programme of archaeological works was implemented to mitigate the potential loss of archaeological deposits and/or features. No features, deposits or dating evidence were found to indicate archaeological activity within the area of the development. The bank appeared to be of simple construction and had clearly not been subject to extensive alteration or remodelling; although no finds were recovered, it is felt by the recorder that construction of the bank is very unlikely to predate the medieval layout of the church. The wall identified at the front of the development was a small remnant of the 'keeper's cottage'.
