Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a desk-based assessment and archaeological evaluation trenching carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) on land at Back Lane, Ditcheat, Somerset in advance of the potential development of the site for three houses. The evaluation revealed fifteen ditches; three of which were undated, one was modern and eleven were Medieval, between the 11th and 14th centuries. They produced enough pottery in large enough fragments to suggest the existence of a settlement in very close proximity. They also produced enough slag to suggest some degree of smithing taking place on site in the medieval period. A single posthole was revealed, dated to the medieval period and a spread of material of redeposited subsoil and natural with relatively large quantities of medieval pottery across the southern end of the site. A large modern pit and modern trench were encountered in the north-east of the evaluated area, which contained CBM and stone rubble. Land drains and a mole plough channel also cut across the site. A large amount of bio-turbation may account for some intrusive 18th century South Somerset Wares being present in some of the features; although it is also possible that some of the medieval pottery is residual.
