Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a housing development at Maidenbrook Farm. A brief desk-top study identified that the earliest part of the present farmhouse, which was Grade II Listed, could be dated to c. 1500 by a large fireplace in what may have been a hall. 13th or 14th century panelling and 16th century timbers had also been recorded within the house. A system of ponds to the south of the farm had been suspected of indicating a medieval moat. Excavation of an area to the east of the farm in 1990 had revealed Late Iron Age and Romano-British features, as well as a small amount of earlier prehistoric pottery dating from the Late Neolithic to the Iron Age, and a collection of Mesolithic flints. During the evaluation, an absence of Late Iron Age and Romano-British pottery and features demonstrated that occupation of these periods had not continued into this area. However, two undated ditch-like features may have been an indication of earlier prehistoric activity, although a natural, geological origin was also possible. [AIP]
