Abstract:		 The site lies within the historic core of Germansweek, immediately to the north of the Parish church of St Germanus. The development site is located in an area marked on the 1885 OS map as the site of a 'manor house'. This may be the manor house of Week (Wyke) Langford, which is documented as the Domesday manor of Wica, and is again mentioned as a tenancy under Manor of Wyk in the 13th century. While no buildings are depicted on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps, it was thought that a raised area noted during a site visit in 1974 may represent archaeological remains associated with the manor house. An evaluation was carried out prior to the start of groundworks. Two trenches, measuring 30m in total, were excavated. These revealed a sequence of natural soils extending across the whole of the northwestern half of the site. The remaining half of the site was largely built up as part of the development and therefore not subject to archaeological investigation. A further site visit was made on the 10-11-2009 to monitor removal of a c. 3m wide section of hedgebank central to the frontage of the new properties in order to provide vehicle access to the development. The bank appeared to be of simple construction and had clearly not been subject to extensive alteration or remodelling; although no finds were recovered, it is felt by this recorder that construction of the bank is very unlikely to predate the medieval layout of the village.
