The absence of archaeological features in the form of field boundary ditches, pits and banks may havemuch to do with the difficulty of working the underlying geology for arable farming.

It seems probable that 23 Dane John had been constructed within the infilled medieval ditchsurrounding the early Norman Castle. However, the ditch was re-cut, probably in the fourteenth centuryand may have served as an open sewer to be replaced by the Black Ditch in the seventeenth century. Inthe eighteenth century a brick-lined well or cess pit was dug through the soft infill of the medievalditch and it was that feature which was found in the recent structural examination of the property.[Au(abr)]SMR primary record number:2003/63

Secondly, a sub-foundation of four layers of mortared flints was constructedon top of the chalk blocks. Lastly two buttresses were added to the western ends of the north and southwalls of the nave, clearly to aid in the support of the tower.

Despite the comparatively shallow nature of the foundation trenches associated with this project, eachclearly demonstrated the presence of archaeological remains just beneath the ground surface. Theearliest cut features on this site consist of two, probable rubbish or cesspits, which appear to date fromthe mid to late 13th century. The discovery of two early medieval rubbish/cesspits to the rear of theexisting property, which lay well back from the present road frontage, suggests that any possiblerelated medieval structures that may have survived were very likely to be located close to the roadfrontage of Fairfield Road.

Though the area of the new horse arena terrace falls close to two important archaeological sites, onemedieval and the other of post-medieval date, most of the remains encountered area of relatively recentdate. The initial date of the pond could not be established due to the process of cleaning the pondduring its active life, thus the removing of any primary fills and datable evidence. The clinkerpath/roadway encountered, aligned across the site, was possibly of nineteenth century date and wasprobably created to transport domestic rubbish. The circular ring feature may have been of a early post-medieval date. [Au(adp)]SMR primary record number:2003/66
