Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was maintained during building alterations at Heron Cottage, High Street, Westham, East Sussex (NGR 564085 104538). A spread of material perhaps representing a medieval trampled yard surface was encountered. Below this, in the area of the footing trenches a small feature was partially revealed within the narrow trench and may represent a small pit, or section of a ditch. As part of the requirements of the watching brief an Historic Building Record was made of fabric exposed to the rear (south) of the property after the removal of a modern extension. The extension had been added to the house around the turn of the 20th century and the removal of the structure revealed earlier alterations and modifications. The rear wall had been added to the property and was constructed of brick and stitched in to the adjacent western structure: where the timber top wall plates abutted, an iron stirrup strap had been added as reinforcement. The brick build had included a window under a slightly arched brick soffit. The window had been blocked also in brick and the western edge truncated by the insertion of a doorway to provide access between the earlier structure and the late extension.
