Randomized trial evaluates archaeological features in wetland habitats, suggesting deeper studies are needed.

The aim is to assess archaeological features at Manor Farm's wetland habitat and the impact of the water table on excavations.
Excavated eight evaluation trenches (30m x 1.65m) targeting proposed pond locations.
Conducted archaeological monitoring during excavation of additional scrapes with GPS level measurements.
Recorded features only in plan due to high water table preventing further excavation.
Identified three ditches in eastern field, likely contemporary drainage features.
Excavation revealed undated linear features and furrows in the western field.
Excavated trenches observed varied depth in scrapes but did not reveal significant archaeological materials.

C Whitehead (2024) studied this question.
