Abstract:		 In line with the requirements of the WSI, the methods used were as follows: • The archaeological monitoring of all groundworks related to the development, including foundation trenches, service trenches, ground reduction, landscaping, access roads and any other ground disturbance. • A contingency was in place for preserving or investigating archaeological remains further as appropriate, however this proved to be unnecessary Although the site is located within an Area of Archaeological Significance that covers the medieval village of Long Marston and its outlying agricultural remains, no features or artefacts of archaeological note were uncovered during this project. The excavations revealed consistent stratigraphy over a wide area, with well stratified layers of topsoil and subsoil, suggesting that there has not been any truncation of the ground. The large areas of excavation, such as ground reduction for the new house and for the manège, were shallow and did not reach the archaeological horizon. Deeper excavations, which reached the natural soil, were only relatively narrow trenches, collectively forming only a small sample of the site’s area. The absence of archaeology may, therefore, be due to the trenches being located between widely dispersed archaeological features, or that the site was never historically occupied. Either way the research aims of the project could not be advanced on this occasion.
