Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was carried out at Sayers Farm, Chapel Lane, Hadleigh, adjacent to the existing Hadleigh Country Park visitor car park. The evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a new visitor centre. Trenches 1 and 2 were located north-east of the farm complex in an area of scrubby woodland and trench 3 was located to the west of the farm house in an area most recently used for car parking during the London 2012 Olympics. The evaluation revealed a small number of archaeological features, namely a pit and two gullies, in Trench 1 that collectively suggest the presence of a medieval precursor to the present Sayers Farm. Beyond their practical use for drainage, the exact function of the ditches is difficult to determine; however, the pit is likely to be the shallow remains of a refuse pit. All the pottery recovered during the archaeological work could have been current during the mid 13th century, although the abraded surfaces may suggest a degree of residuality. Trenches 2 and 3 did not reveal any features of significant archaeological interest; with trench 2 containing only a modern service. Trench 3 also contained modern services, and the remnants of a linear feature indicated by patchy remains of modern rubble. It ran parallel to the extant ditch east of the trench and may represent a demolished boundary wall associated with Sayers Farm.
