An evaluation of land at Wye Court Farm, Wye by Archaeology South-East in advance of residential development. The terminus of a ditch running on a northwest-southeast alignment was found towards the north corner of the site and a second ditch running northeast-southwest running through the centre of the site. The ditch terminus measured 1.31m wide by 0.19m deep, with the rest of the ditch continuing north into unexcavated land. The second ditch was identified running through three excavation trenches measuring a maximum of 2.60m wide and 0.67m deep. No terminus was observed. The ditch terminus fill contained medieval pot sherds, fragments of slag fired clay and a single residual flint blade of Mesolithic/ early Neolithic date. The second ditch fill contained 2 fragments of ceramic building material of Medieval/post Medieval date, 1 fragment of animal bone and a single flint blade from trench 4, and in trench 6 the fill contained animal bone and 1 fragment of Medieval pottery.

The alignment of the ditches correspondes with that of the surrounding exisiting boundary and is therefore likely they represent a removed field boundary with the fill suggesting a Medieval date for the infilling of the ditch and that the ditches are contemporary. (1)
