Abstract:		 The topographic survey carried out at North Street Meadow revealed the presence of linear earthworks and depressions, some of which appeared consistent with medieval ridge-and-furrow agriculture. However, the subsequent evaluation, which comprised 11 trenches, indicated that these features were probably caused by variations in the depth of subsoil and thus appeared likely to have been the result of landscaping during the early 20th century. The evaluation further revealed a number of features, including the terminus of a ditch or a substantial pit containing pottery of probable 'high medieval' (13th-14th century) date. These features could be associated with a medieval house that occupied the site of present-day Croftmead, located immediately east of North Street Meadow, or with a dwelling or farmstead that may have stood somewhere within the field, although no evidence has yet been found to substantiate this. It should also be noted that no evidence was found of an association between the features identified in North Street Meadow with cropmarks in the two large fields immediately to the north of the site, which have been previously identified from aerial photography as field enclosures and ring ditches either of prehistoric or Roman origin. This may imply that this prehistoric and Roman activity did not extend any further to the south or that the landscaping of the property during the early 20th century obliterated any such features. A bank running along the northeast boundary of the site was found to comprise subsoil and is probably the result of modern landscaping.
