Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of a section of the route of a cable trench, which traversed a field containing the site of a deserted medieval village, represented by earthworks. A second deserted village lay in the vicinity, and a moated manor house lay 150m to the west of the trench. Romano-British pottery had been found at a site to the north, and an 11th century church had lain nearby. During the watching brief, a substantial ditch which was visible as a channel at the surface was recorded. This may once have formed a boundary to the medieval settlement, but could also have been connected with the drainage system attached to the moated manor. No dateable artefacts were recovered from the feature. However, four large, flat limestone slabs were recovered approximately 40m from the north-western end of the cable trench. These did not seem to have been dressed, and did not appear to form part of any buried structure. [AIP]
