Abstract:		 A research excavation in the farmyard to the south-west of the moated enclosure was aimed at elucidating the historical development of this part of the Scheduled Ancient Monument and informing management plans, besides providing training opportunities for students of all ages. The original evaluation had been undertaken in three areas. Behind the Great Barn, natural clay was cut by a post-medieval ditch; no further work was possible, however, owing to the presence of nearby power cables. In a second area, behind the Small Barn, test pits exposed a crushed brick and clay layer beneath topsoil. Subsequent area excavation revealed this to have been an extensive external surface framed by edge-set boards nailed to wooden stakes; subsequently identified as a pétanque pitch or 'terrain', laid to celebrate the twinning of Harrow with Douai in northern France in 1989. In the third area, behind the Granary, a trial-trench located surfaces likely to belong to the 'Headstone Cottages' depicted in this position on 19th-century maps. The ensuing area excavation revealed the partially robbed flint, brick and pegtile walls of the north and east walls of the cottages, together with internal and external surfaces. Against the east wall a series of brick lean-to structures and other features had been constructed. The earliest of these was a circular brick-lined soakaway or well; in later phases, much of the shaft had been consolidated with clay, and an east-sloping brick drainage chute had been added. Although the excavation concentrated on the final late 19th to early 20th century phases of the building, pottery of the period 1650-75 and a Charles I rose farthing (dated 1635-44) point to much earlier origins - possibly as the 'second farmhouse', which is documented as being in existence by the mid-17th century but which has not previously been located. The conversion into a pair of cottages probably took place during the 19th century.
