Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of foundation trenches for a new toilet block to the rear of a Methodist church. The church was located on a street which probably represented a 12th/13th century planned element within Somerton; it lay close to the market square and to the parish church. Probable Romano-British burials had been recorded in the vicinity. During the watching brief, an undated but probably medieval ditch and a rubbish pit which probably dated to the 17th century were recorded. Unstratified pottery recovered from the topsoil and the base of the subsoil was mainly of 17th and 18th century date; many 19th and 20th century sherds were discarded. A small number of medieval sherds were also found. The finds suggested that the site had never been settled, but had been used for agriculture or gardening. [AIP]
