Abstract:		 Fieldwalking was undertaken along a pipeline easement, and a watching brief was carried out during excavation of the pipeline trench along part of the route. Romano-British burials had been discovered at a nearby site, and it was thought that there was a potential for medieval sites adjacent to Ditcheat village. Prehistoric flint flakes and tools were recovered throughout the length of the easement, although a particular cluster and a scatter were identified. Three or four sherds of Romano-British pottery and three medieval sherds were also collected. Narrow strips immediately east of the medieval findspots were strongly suggestive of tenement strips. The pottery may have indicated settlement between the 12th and 14th centuries, with a contraction of the village settlement after this date. Earthworks and a hollow way immediately to the west and south of Ditcheat were recorded. During the watching brief, a ditch was noted which lay along the line of a field boundary marked on the Tithe Map. No artefacts were recovered from it. [AIP]
