Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation was undertaken by AC archaeology. A manor at Down Thomas is recorded in 1086 and a medieval oratory was formerly present at Manor Farm, but has now been demolished. Historic maps dating to between 1791 and 1866 depict a range of buildings towards the southeast corner of the site which were no longer present by 1892. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of eight trenches totalling 123m in length. In many of the trenches largely negative results were recorded or agricultural ditches relating to early field division and drainage were present. The trenches positioned to target the range of buildings shown on historic maps established the presence of partly truncated structural remains and other features, including wall footings, external and internal surfaces, a stone-lined drain and terraces. Finds recovered from the overlying demolition deposits suggest occupation from the late 17th century until removal of the buildings towards the end of the 19th century, although as most of the in situ features and structures were not excavated, it is possible that earlier elements might also be present.
