Abstract:		 Site works were carried out in two stages. Firstly, excavation in five small trenches (1.0m x 1.5m) at 1m intervals was completed to allow the underpinning of the wall of the adjacent property. Secondly, a single L-shaped ground reduction followed, referred to as the watching brief area, which extended along the length of the rear of the house to accommodate the new build. The full length of the south-west facing foundations of the cottage were exposed to reveal uncoursed chalk block foundations beneath the 17th century wall. This construction was preceded by terracing and levelling events, observed in section . This landscaping included a chalk retaining wall, orientated south-west - north-east (perpendicular to the house) on the upper terrace. Towards the south-east end of the area monitored, at the location of the proposed lightwell, were the partial remains of a garden path. Built onto a thin layer of made ground atop natural chalk, the path was below three later phases of path, and is considered to be contemporary with the construction of the late 17th century cottage. Later deposits were predominantly backfilling layers/made ground following a previous terracing event. A post-medieval soakaway was revealed cut into the natural chalk, along with a brick surface probably of the same period. These layers were sealed by modern garden soils and topsoil.
