Observations and recording during sewer replacement to the north of the settlement. One archaeological feature was observed. This was a possible post-medieval or modern collapsed field drain in the compound area at Folly Farm. An area of presumed medieval ridge and furrow orientated north-east to south-west was seen as a slight earthwork towards the centre of the scheme, just outside the northern boundary of some possible medieval burgage plots/fields fronting the High Street. Artefacts recovered from the topsoil included two struck flints of possible prehistoric date, and fragments of pottery spanning the medieval to modern periods.
