Archaeological evaluation identifies features and difficulties due to flooding in a wetland habitat.

The evaluation aimed to uncover archaeological features in the eastern field of Manor Farm while addressing challenges posed by groundwater.
Excavated eight evaluation trenches (30m by 1.65m) across the eastern and western fields
Used photogrammetry to record features due to rapid flooding
Monitored mechanical excavation of scrapes to explore previously identified archaeological areas.
Identified three ditches and a possible pit feature in the eastern field, likely contemporary drainage ditches
Excavation in the western field revealed undated linear features and furrows, with no dating materials found
Flooding prevented full excavation and hand-sampling of some trenches.
