Abstract:		 The SMS area is shown in the plan prepared by LCCSPA, based on the results of negotiations held with CA and the client (Fig.2). It was set out on Ordnance Survey National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using a Leica 1200 Series SmartRover GPS and scanned for live services by trained CA staff using CAT and Genny equipment. The areas were excavated, under archaeological supervision, by a 360-degree tracked excavator fitted with a 1.8m wide toothless ditching bucket. The overburden was removed to the top of archaeologically significant deposits or to the top of the geological substrate, whichever was encountered first, and the spoil was placed in bunds in designated areas nearby. No plant or any other site vehicles were permitted to track or drive over the stripped areas until they had been signed off by LCCSPA. Following machining, the archaeological horizons were cleaned, planned and recorded in accordance with CA’s Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual (2013). Each context was recorded on a pro forma context sheet by written and measured description. Principal deposits were recorded on drawn plans (scale 1:20 or 1:50), and electronically using Leica 1200 series GPS (as appropriate and in accordance with Technical Manual 4: Survey Manual (CA 2009)). Sections were drawn at 1:10 or 1:20 scale, as appropriate. Photographs (35mm black & white negative and digital colour) were taken as appropriate. Finds and samples were bagged separately and related to the context record. Artefacts were recovered and retained for processing and analysis, in accordance with Technical Manual 3: Treatment of Finds Immediately After Excavation (CA 1995). Deposits were assessed for their environmental potential and eight features considered to have potential for charactering the phases of activity were sampled in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking of Samples for Palaeoenvironmental and Palaeoeconomic Analysis from Archaeological Sites (CA 2012). The work revealed remains of Late Saxon and medieval boundary ditches and enclosures. Many of the ditches were recut and appeared to have been the subject of constant management and replacement throughout the early life of the village. The site had undergone a number of episodes of intense quarrying for clay and sand, possibly for use in building, as well as a number of discrete pits.
