Abstract:		 The construction of the car park required the removal of the topsoil to expose the surface underlying subsoil; this lay at a depth of c. 0.3m below ground level. No archaeological remains were encountered at this depth and the only visible features were two modern drains. A concrete slab at the east end of the excavation area was probably the remains of an early 20th century extension to a cottage, as shown on historic maps of the village, that once stood in the area to the east of the new car park. This building burnt down in or around the 1960's and evidence was noted for dumps of burnt material from the house fire, now covered by turf, in the area of the car park. In the area of the access road the ground had to be reduced to create a ramp down to Main Street; where the subsoil was removed, this revealed the geological substrate at a depth of c. 0.6m. A metal detector survey of the stripped area recovered a late 15th century silver coin, a 15th century brass candlestick and pieces of lead. To test the thickness of the subsoil near the site of the former cottage and establish the potential for archaeological deposits to survive in the area of the car park, a hand-dug slot was excavated in the south-east corner. This revealed a stony layer, approximately 0.1m thick, beneath the subsoil, from which was recovered a small assemblage of 13th to 14th century pottery.
