Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation, comprising the excavation of four trenches with a total combined length of 80m, was undertaken in connection with proposals for a development on land to the north of Lower House Farm, Knockin, Shropshire (SJ 3327 2234). The site lay within an area which is thought to have formed part of a potentially planned medieval village and the evaluation was intended to examine the possibility that traces of medieval settlement survived. No traces of dwellings were revealed in the evaluation, although evidence of what seemed to be a former field or plot boundary was found in Trench C. The most significant discovery was a substantial ditch, measuring up to 6.0m wide and 2.5m deep, which crossed the eastern end of the proposed development area and was observed in two trenches. Finds from the fill of the ditch suggested it was probably of medieval date, and it may represent a surviving section of the defences of a large outer bailey associated with the medieval timber castle at Knockin.
