Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) at Kilmersdon, Somerset, between October and November 2011. This work followed on from a geophysical survey (Stratascan J2843 201), desk-based assessment and archaeological evaluation (SWARCH report No.110413). The excavations at Kilmersdon make a significant contribution to the dating and construction of early manorial sub-rectangular enclosures as seen within Somerset and elsewhere in Britain. The excavation uncovered the outer ditch(es) of the original 11th-13th century manorial enclosure, the earthworks of which can be seen in the adjoining playing field to the west. Most of the rest of the excavated features relate to the post-medieval development of the village. The most significant discovery was the identification of an enclosure ditch dating to the immediate pre-Conquest period. This was cut and truncated by the medieval manorial enclosure ditch(es), which were probably laid out when Kilmersdon became a Royal Manor in 1065. Kilmersdon was a Hundredral Manor and thus of regional importance in the early medieval period, and this small group of features provides the first definite evidence of early medieval activity in the parish
