Abstract:		 An area of c.7m by c.7m was mechanically stripped following the discovery of buried features during an archaeological evaluation of the site. The remains of a substantial structure were uncovered in the western half of the excavation area. The surviving masonry consisted mainly of flint and chalk/clunch, bonded with a sandy mortar. A single sherd of pottery dating from AD 1300--1400 was recovered from the foundation trench. A chalk-lined well was located below the corner of the building from which pottery dating from 1200--1275 was recovered, and the masonry also truncated a pit from which a pottery assemblage dating from 1225--1325 was recovered. More limited structural remains built on a similar orientation were encountered in the eastern half of the site. Part of one of the structures truncated a pit containing pottery dating from 1125--1225. Hence all the structural remains encountered during the excavations appear to be of late medieval date. The other features consisted of a small group of pits and post-holes. Medieval pottery was recovered from nineteen separate contexts. The earliest group dates from 1125--1225, with the latest group dating from 1325--1425. Other finds include glazed roof tiles, floor tiles, slate, metalwork and animal bone (including fish) and charred seed remains. Specialist reports include
