Abstract:		 The excavation of foundation trenches for the construction of an extension to Parsonage House, a grade II listed building, was archaeologically monitored. The house is also reputed to sit within the remains of a moated enclosure, presumably of medieval date, and may therefore be the replacement of an earlier house. The full extents of this enclosure are not apparent. The extension to the west of the house is located in an area previously occupied by a patio. The foundation trenches measured 22.5m long in total by 0.5-0.6m wide and their depth ranged between 0.9m and 1.7m. A 0.6m-wide wall of brick and concrete was discovered in the middle of the west trench, at a depth of 0.7m. It didn't have any substantial foundation and survived to a truncated height/depth of 0.5m, which indicates that the wall was demolished before the construction of the patio. The trenches in the eastern part of the extension revealed a mid brownish grey soft clayey silt backfill, that contained numerous fragments of brick and tile, a few pieces of post-medieval/modern pottery and animal bone. No cut for a containing feature was discernible in the trench sections and it is possible that the deposit was used to cover the oil spillage, observed immediately to the south of the wall. It is possible that the wall was a support for an oil tank formerly cited here. The results of the archaeological monitoring suggest that the proposed development will not have an adverse impact upon the archaeological record.
