Abstract:		 An archaeologist was to be present on site during the course of any groundwork that had the potential to reveal or disturb archaeological remains. Any archaeological deposits and features revealed were to be cleaned by hand and recorded in plan before being excavated and recorded at an appropriate level. Any archaeological features or other remains i.e. concentrations of artefacts, were to be recorded by written, drawn and photographic record. Where archaeological features were exposed during any ground reduction but otherwise would remain unaffected they were recorded only by plan and written description. Where remains would be impacted on then they would be sample excavated. Any variation to this was to be agreed with the County Archaeological Services, on behalf of the local planning authority. All artefacts would be collected and retained except for concentrations of building material where a representative sample will be kept. Standard John Moore Heritage Services techniques were employed throughout, involving the completion of a written record for each deposit encountered, with scale plans and section drawings compiled where appropriate. A photographic record was also produced. The recording was carried out in accordance with the standards specified by The Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (2014). The excavations revealed an organic garden soil over an anthropogenic subsoil layer. These layers lay above three natural clay layers. The absence of the lowest clay layer (05) in the section profiles towards the NW of the excavated area would indicate that this layer was sloping down deeper than the excavations at this point and would reflect the direction of slope NW down into the valley. No evidence was found relating to the shrunken medieval village and no finds of medieval date were recovered. The only feature found was a large soakaway that was positioned to take water directed downhill from Sidings Road.
