Abstract:		 Evaluation consisting of three trial trenches was undertaken as a condition of planning for construction of a new Sixth-form block. Over most of the site a simple profile of topsoil and weathered subsoil over natural was exposed, some 0.3 to 0.6m deep. However, the easternmost trench revealed a deposit of brick fragments, plus some clinker/charcoal and later 17th century finds. This was possible detritus from a brick clamp, and potentially associated with a major extension of Ham House in the 1670s. It may be significant that the area (though meadow) is referred to as 'Brick Ground' on the 1841 Tithe. A further trench c 13m x 9.5m was opened up south of initial findings. Although no in situ evidence of brick firing was found the sheer quantity of brick debris, plus clinker and other burnt material, clearly indicates that brickmaking was taking place nearby. The later 17th century date was confirmed through examination of brick, pottery and clay pipe. A series of shallow linear features were cut into the natural clay/silt - apparently formed at that level and sealed by made ground and brick debris. Although it is not clear what these represent there was some evidence for a mid 18th century date, and it is conceivable that they are associated with remediation of ground that had been left covered with brick debris.
