Abstract:		 A series of six evaluation trenches were undertaken at Kilmersdon in the pre-planning stage of residential developments. These archaeological investigations were prompted by the identification of building platforms and earthworks associated with the former manor house in the playing field immediately to the west of the development area (SWARCH report No.060310). The evaluation trenches were positioned in order to investigate subsurface structural remains and other possible anomalies evident on a geophysical survey of the site (Stratascan J2843 201). The excavations revealed a number of linear features dating primarily from the medieval period, but with evidence of some prehistoric activity judging by the topsoil find (14 flint flakes). These features included a substantial 4m wide ditch with an excavated depth of 0.8m, as well as four shallower linears. No trace of structural remains relating to the manor house were revealed, but the archaeological features and finds excavated at Kilmersdon suggest that the majority of the proposed development area fell immediately outside of the core of the medieval settlement, which had seemingly been enclosed by the substantial ditch (and bank) located at the western end of the site .
