Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out in advance of the formation of a slurry lagoon, the erection of two agricultural buildings, a Milking Parlour and an electrical cable at Dykesfield Farm, Burgh by Sands. The results of the watching brief supported the results of the earlier evaluation (Suddaby 2015) by confirming that the course of the Vallum at Dykesfield Farm ran to the south of the Scheduled Area. A section, 1m deep, to accommodate the electrical cable was cut across the Vallum proving it to be c. 10.4m wide, although an accurate measurement was not possible because the southern edge of the Vallum was truncated by a later field boundary. All of the fills identified were sterile. A number of features were identified in the area to the north of the Vallum. However, the width of the cable trench didn't allow for a full assessment of what these were, although they were all fairly shallow features and didn't contain any artefacts to assist with dating. It is thought that any association with the Vallum is unlikely. Following the strip of the areas for the slurry lagoon and the buildings a number of generally shallow, undated ditches were identified. These did not appear large enough to have any form of military function and it is probable that these are the remains of field boundary ditches of post-roman date.
