Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of proposed development of the site. This phase of work builds upon a previous geophysical survey 2016 (Webb 2016). The site is located on gently sloping land in the centre of the village of Blisland, to the east of the 17th century manor house, and to the north-east of the Norman church. The evaluation area comprised a single roughly rectangular field sub-divided into three smaller paddocks, currently under pasture. The evaluation identified a total of 23 archaeological features, including: one bank; six ditches; one post-medieval ceramic land-drain; four stone filled soak-away drains; two pits; one stone dump; one natural hollow; one tree-throw; and seven modern service trenches and associated features. The evaluation validated the majority of the geophysical survey results, equating archaeological features to geophysical anomalies. Although a geophysical survey would not identify small discrete features, the evaluation trenching has demonstrated that most of the ditches and larger features identified in the geophysical survey do survive beneath the ground. The site is shown to have been criss-crossed by a mix of post-medieval and modern drains associated with the surrounding housing and the need to drain the land. Several features remain undated, though are likely to predominantly be similarly post-medieval in date and may reflect earlier land divisions, artefactual evidence suggests that there was prehistoric activity on the site.
