Abstract:		 A resistivity survey was undertaken and six evaluation trenches excavated on land to the east of St Mary's Church. An area between the adjacent remand home and the rectory was found to have been levelled and had been terraced down into the natural subsoil. At the southern end of this area, however, adjacent to the edge of the dene, a late medieval/early post-medieval stone wall was found aligned east-west along the top of the slope, and appeared to form an extension of the enclosure wall visible to the south of the church. East of the remand home, several geophysical anomalies were tested and proved to be structures associated with a post-medieval farm. Nevertheless, slot-type building foundations were identified in two trenches and possible Anglo-Saxon pottery was found associated with one of these. These features had been heavily truncated by later agricultural activity. A range of post-medieval features associated with the farm, which stood at the northern end of the field were identified, including a substantial wall that defined an enclosed market garden area in the 19th and 20th centuries. No evidence was found for a Roman signal station which had been postulated in this area. [Au]
