Abstract:		 Excavations were located at the core of the modern village, c170m north of the present village green. The site lay between Sutton Road, one of the late medieval streets in the village, and Langton Road, a more recent byway that cuts between the village green and Manor Road. Two arrangements of medieval ditches formed the rear boundaries of properties that had once fronted onto Sutton Road. These indicated a fundamental change in the organisation of the Norman manor towards the end of the 12th century when the ditches were realigned to form thin backage plots extending west from Sutton Road. A large pit and a medieval fishpond were both backfilled with midden waste at that time. From the mid- 15th century there was a rough cobbled yard at the back of the Sutton Road plots. The post-medieval ditches showed a rearrangement of boundaries supplanting the late medieval plots and subdividing the area with a small access track between the two. Late post-medieval and modern activity was limited to minor disturbances, dumps of material filling some of the later ditches, two animal burials and a substantial ditch parallel to Langton Road that truncated the medieval fishpond.
