Abstract:		 The results of archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with the development of two houses with separate garage on land adjacent to Red Lodge, Hargham Road, Shropham. The proposed development site is located within the area of a deserted medieval and/or post-medieval settlement, where earthworks and cropmarks are visible on aerial photographs. A wet, natural sand was revealed across the site within the base of all footings trenches, being reached at a shallower depth in the northern area of the site - possibly as the result of modern landscaping activity. The southerly edge of a very wide feature was identified, which crossed the site on an approximate west-south-west to east-north-easterly alignment. This has been interpreted as evidence for a former Hollow way, which contained a landscaping infill of redeposited sand of likely late post-medieval to 20th century date. A large pit was partly exposed in the north-east corner of the footings trenching for Plot 1, recorded below the level of the Holloway yet on a similar south-west to north-east alignment. This feature is conjectured to be a borrow pit of medieval to post-medieval date, containing a dumped-fill contaminated with charcoal from local burning activity. Two other features were identified; a former ditch which matches the expected position and alignment of a boundary ditch shown on 19th century plans and a shallow pit containing a well mineralised fill, thought to be of some antiquity. Two sherds of medieval pottery were collected from the site, including a sherd of green-glazed handle from a Grimston-type ware jug of 13th to 14th century date. A single prehistoric flint was also collected.
