Abstract:		 The archaeological evaluation comprised a single machine-excavated evaluation trench. The area of the evaluation trench was heavily impacted by the excavation of modern service runs. Undisturbed natural sand and gravel Head deposits were therefore only exposed within a small area of the trench. Two truncated, undated features - a north-west to south-east aligned potential ditch and a possible pit or post-hole - were partly exposed, cut into the natural. The ditch may have served as field boundary as it runs parallel to another recorded by earlier archaeological works c. 50m to the south-west. The significance of these two features in relation to the Scheduled Monument cannot be ascertained. Two further cut features were investigated. One was exposed in the trench section and is unidentified. The second was a deep linear feature that runs through the centre of the trench. It was sample excavated to a depth of 1.80m below present ground level and due to its exposed vertical side and depth, it may represent a buried service, possibly an earlier version of the sewer pipe that overlies it today. Both these features are nineteenth or twentieth century in date and may relate to the original construction of the Officer's Mess buildings or later modifications.
