Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief by A. T. Palmer (Builders and Contractors) Ltd. The evaluation was partially on the site of a demolished barn building associated with some of the old farm buildings of Moat Farm, Moat Road, Headcorn, Kent. The work was carried out from 7th July to 13th July 2009. The site is situated on the edge of the southern bank of a tributary to the River Beult which had been canalised at this point to create a moat. Work involved the reduction of the ground level to a maximum of 300 millimetres from the original ground surface to create a level surface from which to build, and the excavation of foundation trenches into the natural strata. A total of 52.25 m2 of ground reduction and 13 metres of foundation trenching were monitored. The interventions were largely devoid of archaeology, no cut features were observed other than post-medieval pitting from the disposal of farm waste. A ceramic fragment from the subsoil gave a date of 15th- to mid 16th-century, while the topsoil contained a sherd from 16th to 17th century, all other artefacts date to between the 19th and early 20th century.
