The Watching Brief took place between the 7t h and 9t h of August 2002 during the construction of a haul road and associated bund by M. Dickersons Ltd, in an area previously archaeologically evaluated by trenching in 2000 (Masser, 2000). Two of these trenches (7 & 8) were situated in the location of the proposed area of groundworks and revealed no archaeology. With the exception of remnant ridge and furrow running diagonally across the trench at c.9m intervals, no archaeological features were seen at this level. Evidently, the furrows had been encroached by the fen edge, as desiccated peat was seen in the furrows, notably at the southern end of the trench. Sparse amounts of medieval and post medieval pottery and tile indicative of manuring were encountered in the topsoil. Other than the ridge and furrow, no archaeological features were encountered within the trench or exposed in section
