Report on archaeological excavations in advance of development at the Old Showground, Cheddar, a site lying just outside the bounds of the probable precinct containing the late Saxon and medieval royal palace and minster church. The excavations provided new evidence for the development of late Saxon and medieval Cheddar. It was demonstrated that intensive occupation during the Roman period did not extend this far north, although there is evidence likely to be associated with agricultural activity, and Roman pottery indicating occupation from the first or second century onwards. A holloway, probably of late Saxon origin, was found to traverse the site, dating evidence from its infilling suggesting that it fell out of use sometime after the start of the tenth century but before the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. A smithing hearth bottom was recovered from the infill, testifying to ironworking activities. The possible route of the holloway beyond the area of the excavation is discussed. A structure to the south of the holloway was dated to the tenth or eleventh century; postholes indicate a timber-framed building. Following the abandonment of the holloway a series of ditches and gullies were laid out, suggesting the division of the area into plots during the twelfth or thirteenth century, and two more structures were identified from this phase, although indications are that occupation was short-lived.
