Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a housing development, which comprised two adjoining fields. The southern field was believed to have been enclosed within the area of a rectilinear medieval moat, associated with the parish church. It had been suggested that the moat had pre-dated the present church, which had been dated to the latter part of the 13th century, and that an earlier church may have occupied a position more centrally within the moat. A magnetometer survey was undertaken within the site, but much of the area was found to have been magnetically disturbed, or to be otherwise unsuitable for geophysical survey. Trial trenching revealed a number of archaeological features, comprising ditches, gullies and pits. The limited dating evidence recovered suggested that activity at the site had mainly occurred in the 13th-14th centuries. A residual sherd of Roman pottery was also found. No evidence was found of the possible moat. [AIP]
