Abstract:		 The topsoil stripping of a 3.7ha area in the north-west of Bradwell Quarry was subject to archaeological monitoring and investigation in advance of the northward enlargement of extraction works. While only a single probable prehistoric pit was recorded, the remainder of a medieval farmstead first excavated in 2008/09 was exposed and investigated. The farmstead occupied a small rectangular ditched enclosure surrounded by fields or paddocks. Further parts of the enclosure and field ditches were recorded, along with possible building remains, a few pits, gullies and the northern edge of a large working hollow. Comprising only three or four rudimentary timber structures, and small quantities of relatively mundane and largely domestic artefacts, this would seem to be a minor or low status farm settlement of the late 12th to mid 13th century, particularly in comparison with the contemporary medieval farmstead and windmill previously recorded in the quarry 1.1km to the east. A number of post-medieval ditches running across the site, and cutting across the medieval enclosures, represent at least two phases of subsequent change to the layout of the agricultural landscape in the period of the late 17th to 19th centuries. Further drainage features and general disturbance relate to use as a WW2 airfield.
