Trial trenching by Archaeology South-East at land at The Old Vicarage, The Street, Shalford, 2014 - EEX56903

NRHE data transfer: Four evaluation trenches were excavated on the site of a new residential development within the grounds of the early 16th century Old Vicarage in Shalford. The site lies along the main road through the village which contains standing buildings of medieval and post -medieval date. The four trenches were dug within the intended house and garage footprints, apart from Trench 4, which had to be dug further to the east, away from existing overhead electric cables. In general the ground was undisturbed apart from the presence of tree roots and tree bowls. A ceramic modern pipe was uncovered which had been placed within an undated field boundary ditch. A subsoil layer was interpreted as a former ploughsoil. No datable archaeological remains were found or finds recovered.
