Abstract:		 The work comprised a continuous watching brief, on the excavation of all foundations and a service trench. The footings for a large house with attached garage measuring 35m north to south and maximum 25m east to west were excavated under archaeological supervision during June, whilst the trench for services was monitored in July. In accordance with the WSI excavation ceased as soon as significant deposits were revealed. The archaeological remains were then recorded and excavation continued to formation depth. The watching brief uncovered several features, only one of which, the post hole cut into the base of pit [1011], was seen to its full extent. Pottery sherds from these features all date to between the late 11th through to the early 13th century, with the exception of one residual Roman Grey ware fragment, and are likely to have been used in a domestic setting suggesting that the features themselves are remnants of domestic activity. The presence of several features of probable medieval date within such a small excavation indicates that this area of the village was under occupation at this time, and that the survival of similar features within nearby back gardens and surrounding green space is likely. A backfilled well was also recorded; no finds were recovered from this feature, however it was observed to be built from the same brick as a demolished garden wall on site which probably dated to the Victorian period or early 20th century
