The site lies towards the north end of the village, on the west side of Main Street and adjacent to Briar Lea, a bungalow at the southernmost end of a short row of dwellings at the north end of Main Street / Laneham Road. The area is given as just over 20300m², currently dense grass that will probably be harvested for hay, the north end of a larger field that extends to Chestnut Barn, the next dwelling south along Main Street. The propose dnew dwellings would lie in the eastern part of the site adjacent to Main Street, with the remainder of the site lying to the rear. The objective of the topographic survey was to record in detail, using non-intrusive methods of archaeological investigation, the earthworks within the site boundary prior to any impacts resulting from the evaluation or proposed development groundworks. After a rapid walkover survey to establish the nature and layout of the earthworks on the site, the areas of ridge-and-furrow were surveyed, using a Leica GS08 GPS unit receiving RTK corrections, accurate to 0.03m. The Site boundaries were recorded as control points. The tops, bases and breaks of slopes of any discernible earthworks were surveyed: three transects were also surveyed in order to produce typical profiles across the areas of surviving ridge and furrow. A digital photographic record was also made: extracts from this record appear as colour plates throughout this report. The survey has demonstrated that the application area formed part of the medieval village’s open-field system, part of one of the seasonally cultivated arable field ploughed in strips roughly perpendicular to the road through the village. The slightly sinuous form of these features is typical of medieval features but is also seen in early post-medieval contexts. The boundary track that extends east-west across the southern half of the site is consistent with the ridge and furrow, therefore the track is possibly contemporary or simply respects the earlier earthworks. Although some of the fields to the west have been amalgamized, the track / boundary can be traced on LiDAR extending to the surviving earthworks of Whimpton DMV; again the slightly sinuous route of this feature suggests it is pre-Enclosure Act and therefore contemporary with the ridge and furrow. The ridge and furrow earthworks are truncated by later features, including two later post-medieval or early 20th century ponds and associated access / drainage ditches. The consistency between the ridge and furrow earthworks on either side of these features shows the ponds and ditch are not contemporary with the medieval ridge and furrow. The flattened area in the southwest corner of the site corresponds with the orchard mapped on early OS mapping including the First Series dates 1856 and was possibly established when the parish was enclosed in c.1815. The survey did not identify any evidence for domestic occupation, such as closes or building platforms, or for any other post-enclosure activity within the site. LiDAR tiles show there are rectangular irregularities just to the south adjacent to the orchard area which may be evidence of buildings. Further ridge and furrow earthworks were noted on site and on aerial photographs / LiDAR images to the south of the site boundary, with some rectilinear and flat areas that may correspond with building platforms adjacent to the road to the east and the continuation of the former orchard area to the west.
