An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Main Street Farm, Kneesall, where new dwellings are planned in association with refurbishment of the former farmhouse and conversion of barns to additional properties. Scatters of prehistoric and Roman artefacts indicate a low density or transient activity around Kneesall in these periods, but settlement here is believed to date from the early medieval period. Opposite the site the 14th century Church of St. Bartholomew is believed to have replaced and open air site of worship, a focal point for the early community. Main Street Farm is post-medieval in date but earlier activity here was unknown. Brick footings and a probable kiln base were exposed in three of the four trenches investigated, all interpreted as relating to the post-medieval farm. While the footings in one trench correspond with a barn seen on historic mapping, those in another trench and the kiln base probably relate to the first decades of the farm evolution.
