Abstract:		 Evaluation with four trenches All of the three excavated trenches contained archaeological features and deposits, indicating archaeological remains are present across the site. The remains range in date from medieval to modern. One feature of potential significance has been identified as a well of medieval date, though neither the date nor its function have been verified. The sample trenches also identified an earlier post-medieval pit, containing a mixed assemblage of artefacts (pottery, bone, CBM, glass etc). Together with a further pit and two postholes potentially from the late 17th century. A cellar wall may relate to buildings indicated on an early map of 1759. A second phase of archaeological monitoring identified two distinct phases of archaeological remains were uncovered, both relating to domestic buildings. One stone built wall, based on its alignment and construction material used, is attributed to pre 19th century and is likely represented as one of the buildings on the 1759 Edward Dore’s map. The three various sized pits were broadly dated to 16th to 18th centuries as well. Truncating two of these pits were walls of brick construction, uncovered in various locations across the site. These brick walls corelate well, if not perfectly, to the buildings shown on the 1886 Ordnance Survey map, including the backfilled cellar wall, the same as recorded during the evaluation.
