Abstract:		 The monitored works consisted of the mechanical strip of the area of the SuDS, as shown in Figure 2. These groundworks were carried out under the constant supervision of the archaeologist. Where machine excavation was required, this was used only for the removal of non-significant overburden or natural substrates. Plant was suitable for the task and was equipped with a toothless grading bucket. The watching brief identified natural substrates beneath a subsoil and subsequent topsoil. There was a general paucity of archaeological features and finds within the monitored area. Two isolated small pits were entirely devoid of artefacts, or other anthropogenic indicators and it was uncertain if they represented archaeological or geological remains. In light of the occurrence of variable Diamicton deposits in the near vicinity of the site, the latter interpretation was more likely. The complete absence of other possible archaeological features indicated that the site was likely to have been located outside of any focus of activity associated with a moated site to the east.
