PROJECT DETAILS Eye, Kings Farm, Cranley Green (EYE 120, TM 1710 7166) two evaluation trenches were opened close to the eastern end of the farm house, which is a listed structure with Grade II status located on a moat that is a Scheduled Monument, in order to inform consideration of the proposed re-submission of a planning application for side and rear extensions to the house. The only features revealed in the trenches proved to be a shallow depression which can be identified as having been formed by the roots of a large tree, a small pit of early to mid 20th century date and a redundant manhole. As the works progressed the upcast spoil was examined for stray finds but the only artefact of any age recovered was a clay tobacco pipe bowl and stem fragment of 18th century date.
