Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during groundworks and the excavation of a power supply trench relating to the construction of a new science block at a school. The school had been established on the site of a series of Saxon Palaces, which was a SAM; the development site lay partly within the scheduled area. Excavations in 1962-3 had revealed that the proposal area was bisected by two substantial ditches, and contained ancillary structures relating to the palace complex. Evaluation in 1988 had identified only minor archaeological activity and had noticed severe disturbance caused by post-medieval agriculture. Evaluation of the present development site in 1997 had also demonstrated disturbance, but had indicated the presence of previously unrecorded archaeological features. During the watching brief, two sherds of medieval pottery and a Roman coin which may have derived from the backfill of previous excavations were recovered. 18th and 19th century excavations were recovered from the power supply trench. It was concluded that the works had revealed no new evidence of archaeological activity, and had not caused any substantive damage to surviving features. [AIP]
