Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by John Stark and Crickmay Partnership on behalf of the owners, Mr and Mrs Taylor, to undertake an archaeological watching brief at The Old Rectory, Compton Pauncefoot. The watching brief was required as a condition of planning approval for a proposed extension, resurfacing and fencing of an existing tennis court at the Old Rectory, centred on NGR 364411 126007. The fieldwork was carried out intermittently from the 25th of May to the 9th of June 2011. The watching brief monitored all stripping and excavations in areas which had been undisturbed areas by previous works. The works revealed three Late Saxon to earlier medieval features (AD 850 - 1200), all located within the south-eastern area of the Site. These features comprised of two segments of a shallow boundary ditch and a single pit. In addition, a short segment of a Post-medieval stone-built storm drain/culvert (AD 1500 - 1800) was revealed along the northeastern edge of the Site. Although Compton Pauncefoot appears to have had its origins in the Late Saxon period, this is largely based on documentary evidence. The identified features have confirmed the presence of Late Saxon to early medieval activity with the potential for further features in the surrounding area. These features may be associated with undated cropmark enclosures in the field immediately to the west of the Site (Somerset HER 53781) and may indicate the potential for settlement and/or pastoral activity associated with the early origins of Compton Pauncefoot.
