Site Event/Activity record ESF28574 - Evaluation, Manor Farm Church Road Battisford

Archaeological evaluation, ahead of the residential redevelopment of the farmyard. Following the demolition of the farm buildings and the removal of the concrete yard surface, ten trenches were excavated, measuring 164.5m in total. Although the back wall and crushed chalk floor of an earlier phase of buildings were recorded in one trench and the remnants of a possible cobbled yard surface were present in two trenches, no deposits of any archaeological interest were identified with a layer of mixed demolition material and make up for the concrete yard surface having largely truncated the naturally derived clay substrate. No finds were recovered, and no samples were taken.
