Abstract:		 The results of an evaluation by test pitting as part of an application for a new driveway leading to the residential farmhouse at Langley Abbey, along with the proposed construction of an electrical substation. Five test pits were hand excavated along the route of the proposed driveway and an additional test-pit was located within the footprint of the proposed electrical substation. The route of the proposed driveway has been positioned to follow part of the route of a late post-medieval drive/trackway shown on 19th century plans Evidence for the post-medieval drive or trackway shown leading to the farmhouse on 19th century plans was slight. Well mixed, gravel laden soils were recorded below the topsoil which appear to indicate that the route comprised of a lightly gravelled surface with little consolidation and maintenance, with no evidence of serious metalling encountered. The depth of natural varied from across the route, becoming much shallower in the area to the west of the farmhouse at just 0.35m below the surface. Noteworthy finds include an assemblage of medieval to post-medieval brick and tile, attributed to the Dissolution and later phases of structural demolition, along with a medieval lead stylus, a single abraded fragment of Flemish floor tile and glazed medieval roof tiles.
