Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out on construction and landscaping works associated with a habitat creation scheme. A localised concentration of early medieval remains were identified beneath the northern part of a new road. Features included two parallel gullies, a series of post-holes possibly forming a small rectangular structure, a large pond or water channel and a Y-shaped ditch. Three phases of activity were identified taking place broadly between the 10th to the 12th centuries. The recovery of fragments of ceramic mould or crucible and hammerscale suggest that both metal working and smithing were taking place in the vicinity, whilst the presence of burnt grain may indicate crop processing. Three roughly parallel field boundary ditches were identified in the southern part of the new road footprint. Medieval pottery recovered from two of the ditches suggests that they date to the 12th or 13th century. At Rigdons breach in the east of the habitat scheme area the lowering of the 1950s sea wall embankment revealed the buried remains of an earlier bank dating to the late 18th or 19th century.
