Abstract:		 An archaeological trenching evaluation and subsequent monitoring brief was carried out in advance of residential re-development to the rear the former Victoria public house. Three trenches, totalling an area of 85 sq m, were excavated within the footprints of three new buildings (Plots 1/2, 3/4 and 5/6). Monitoring of the construction groundworks for building plot 3/4 was also undertaken. Two pits and a gully, together with a small quantity of residual pottery, are of medieval date and attest to activity on the site from as early as the 12th century. Trenches 2 and 3 contained post-medieval remains dating from the 17th to 19th centuries. The majority of these comprise brick walls, floors, drains and ditches belonging to buildings that formerly occupied the site and are depicted on historic mapping. Parts of the principal building (a house?) were located within Trench 1 and demonstrate that the structure was likely to be of two major phases - an original rectangular house of 17th century origin and a rear extension of likely 18th or early 19th century date. No medieval origin for this building was apparent. The east side of an 18th century brick-built outbuilding range positioned to the rear of the house, and apparently shortened in the 19th century, was only very tentatively located within Trench 2. No archaeological remains were found within Trench 3, to the west of the public house, and it is assumed that this part of the property had always had a garden use.
