Abstract:		 A watching brief on the excavation of land to the west of 'Lovegate' within an oval shaped enclosure which has been identified as a possible lann or ecclesiastical enclosure for a chapel on the site of 'Lovegate' itself. Though located within a site that is potentially an early medieval ecclesiastical enclosure associated with a chapel, no features, or indeed artefacts were recorded that could have been associated with this. Even if, as is suspected, the chapel lay somewhere on or just north of the site of the current building of Lovegate, it may have been expected that graves would be encountered, but no archaeological features at all were identified. This may, however, have been due to the fact that most of the site had already been levelled. It was notable that in recent times there have been several phases of landscaping resulting in a lot of ground re-profiling and soil deposition within the area investigated. In one place this had the effect of burying what appears to have been the original surface of the hillside beneath nearly 2m of material. It is possible that this landscaping may have removed or obscured the evidence for any earlier activities associated with the chapel. It therefore appears that the current development work is unlikely to have any impact on the archaeological resource. Nonetheless it is recommended that any future development of the site should be accompanied by a watching brief since it is very possible that other parts of the site may have been less disturbed, and will still contain well-preserved remains of this important chapel site.
