Abstract:		 Work was monitored between 10th and 16th January 2007. The proposed redevelopment of the site involves the conversion of the existing former dairy buildings to the north of the site and the construction of a new building to provide residential units with an associated car parking, landscaping and re-sited access. The work involved monitoring a number of piles followed by ground reduction on the western side of the site. On the northeast side of the site ground reduction within the North Barn was also monitored. No tangible archaeological deposits were observed during the piling. A single fragment of Roman pottery dated c 200-300 AD emerged with the risings in Pile 10. Modern and late post-medieval make-up dumps above an alluvial layer were recorded within the footprint of the proposed new residential units on the western side of the site, down to a maximum depth of 1 metre below ground level. Natural gravel was not recorded. Natural silty clay was recorded below the alluvial deposit in the northeast corner at a height of 81.00m OD. A single fragment of Roman samian pot dated AD 120-200 was found between the natural clay silt and alluvial layer. No archaeological deposits were found to survive on the site of the North Barn, the area having undergone terracing prior to its construction into the underlying natural chalk.
