Abstract:		 An earlier evaluation had identified a number of Medieval features and this, combined with the known Medieval activity immediately to the north, led to the requirement for a strip, map and sample excavation of the house footprint. An area broadly 9m east-west by 14m north-south was excavated. Features uncovered comprised an undated north-south aligned ditch [504]/[508], which was cut to the east by a large, amorphous and shallow hollow [506]/[510]/[518], which may be Medieval or early Post-medieval origin. These features were truncated to the north by a northeast-southwest aligned field boundary [516]/[520] which ran across the site and may represent a late Medieval field boundary that may have lasted into the Postmedieval or Modern period. Two other features [105] and [202], investigated during the evaluation phase, were identified but subject to no further investigation. The archaeological works clarified the nature of the deposits found in the evaluation, indicating that the activity within development area is probably a continuation of the archaeological deposits found during the 2013 excavations further to the north. However, no additional features to those revealed during the evaluation were exposed in the current works.
