Abstract:		 4 trenches 2 - 15m x 1.8m 2 - 10m x 1.8m The most significant archaeological features encountered during the evaluation were two sections of ditch in Trenches 2 and 3. Projecting the line of the two sections suggest that this is probably one continuous feature running northeast-southwest across the development site. Both sections dug through this feature produced sherds of green-glazed pottery of medieval date from secure contexts within the middle fill of the feature; as such a probable medieval date can be surmised. This feature therefore clearly pre-dates the construction of the current Beauclerc House and the walled gardens, though its alignment roughly parallel to the main road through the village to the north of the walled garden suggests that this may also follow the route of a medieval feature. Whilst the ditch itself is not immediately suggestive of a settlement in itself, and probably represents a boundary demarcation, the presence of pottery within its fill suggests relatively close proximity to a settlement. The well preserved and unabraded nature of the pottery and its position securely within the fill of a cut-feature also suggests it was not moved onto the site through ploughing. A gully found in Trench 2 immediately to the north of the ditch does not have any direct relationship to the ditch and no dating evidence was produced from the section dug through the feature. However its alignment closely matches that of the ditch and the similarity of the material filling the gully to that of the ditch suggests that this is also likely to be a feature of medieval date.
