'An area adjacent to the church of All Saints, Piddletrenthide, was evaluated by means of a series of machine-excavated trenches. The excavation demonstrated a sequence of activity commencing with a ditch of later prehistoric date. Early medieval occupation of the site is attested both by features and by pottery of a similar date residual in trenches where post-medieval structures were recorded. Documentary evidence suggests that the site was occupied by houses, gardens and orchards during the 18th and 19th centuries.'
