Abstract:		 A watching brief was undertaken during groundworks for a new kitchen/breakfast room extension. Anstey House itself is originally of late 17th-century construction and occupies the interior of a sub-square medieval moated enclosure. The extension site was on the south side of the extant house. Observation of the building contractor's excavation of underpinning pits and wall foundation trench identified the presence of medieval and post-medieval remains. The medieval remains comprised a large 13th century rubbish pit and corroborates the assumed medieval date of the moated enclosure itself. Two further undated pits could possibly also have been of medieval date. The recorded post-medieval remains comprised soil layers, brick-built drains and wall foundations, all of which relate to the construction and subsequent use of the late 17th century Anstey House.
