Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a visitor centre at Cressing Temple, part of which was a Scheduled Ancient Monument. A number of Listed agricultural buildings belonging to a manorial farm lay at the site, and possible prehistoric features had been observed in one area during earlier work. During the evaluation, a drainage ditch which had taken the overflow from a moat to a roadside ditch was observed, and a Tudor culvert which had probably also served to drain the moat was found. Several post holes, which had probably supported fences for 19th century pig pens, and two medieval post pits were recorded. Roman and medieval pottery and prehistoric flints were recovered. It was concluded that the proposed site of the new building could be divided into three distinct zones comprising a boundary line with the recently-filled ditch and Tudor culvert, and the land to either side of it.
