Abstract:		 A series of eight evaluation trenches were opened in advance of proposed redevelopment, concentrated on two main areas of the site. Trenches covering the Pye factory revealed widespread modern truncation and disturbance. Some archaeological artefacts were recovered from quarrying back-fill in Trench 5 but these had been removed from context and could only suggest a nearby archaeological presence. The trenches by the Old Manor House complex entirely substantiated information found on the earliest maps of the area (1830) in regards of Lovers Walk, and located the outbuildings of the Old Manor House. Extensive quarrying for sand and gravel had also seriously truncated the surrounding area and no discreet archaeological features were recorded, however, some of the quarry pits were of a late medieval date. To conclude, it appeared almost certain that potential early archaeological remains in the former Pye Radio and Television Works had been removed by modern truncation. [Au(abr)]
