Abstract:		 John Moore Heritage Services carried out an archaeological watching brief at The Harcourt Arms, Stanton Harcourt (NGR SP 41528 05710) on behalf of Ralt Engineering Ltd. This took place after a previous building assessment. A second phase of work can be divided in multiple stages. A first stage was conducted the 18th November 2015. Groundworks consisted of the excavation of footings trenches for a new village shop. Only modern pits and layers were revealed during this phase. A second stage, consisting of ground reduction saw multiple prehistoric and medieval features unearthed. The prehistoric part, concentrated in the south-east of the main building, includes a ditch, several postholes or small pits and a possible cremation burial. Dates provided by the potsherds points towards an occupation through all Iron Age. The principal phase of occupation of the site, to the south, is probably dated between the 12th and 14th century with at least six main linear features (and their recuts), a massive pit and one posthole. Only one ditch can be assigned to late medieval activity (15th - 16th). Further developments occurred during post-medieval and modern periods in the form of plantation or rubbish pits (among which one contained a piglet burial).
