Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted for Purcell Miller Tritton LLP during renewal of drains and structural investigation works. The hall lies on the highest point within an 11th-century defensive ringwork of ditches in the likely position of an associated timber 11th- century castle. For this reason the ground below the present hall is part of a scheduled ancient monument and a watching brief was carried out to record any disturbance to these lower deposits. No archaeological evidence relating to the 11th-century castle was observed. No archaeological features or deposits were found during the repairs to existing drains and in construction a new drain run but archaeological remains were found during the excavation of an investigative test pit. A test pit excavated to a depth of almost 1m against the south-west facing wall of the 'kitchen' revealed a short length of wall thought likely to pre-date the post medieval (18th- to 19th-century) wall of the extant 'kitchen'. This earlier 'wall' was recorded 0.6m below the modern ground level. A tobacco pipe dating to the early-mid 17th century was found at the base of the construction cut of the upstanding kitchen wall. The small stub of wall remains undated and it is uncertain if it pre- or post-dates the 'kitchen wall' either being part of the earlier hall construction or part of a now-demolished outbuilding.
