Abstract:		 Two of a total of five archaeological areas within the Little Easton Quarry scheme, Areas 2 and 3 identified as a result of trial-trenching evaluation carried out in 2000/01, were investigated prior to commencement of the first, western, phase of extraction. A number of Late Iron Age ditches, some inter-cutting, were found in Area 3. These attest to landscape management in the first half of the 1st century AD. Relatively large quantities of discarded pottery in their fills suggest the presence of an occupation site in the near vicinity. The inclusion of probable immediate pre-conquest continental imports amongst this assemblage hints at a relatively high status site, with access to traded goods that were probably being transported inland along the Iron Age forerunner of nearby Stane Street. Part of a 12th century enclosure system defined by ditches was recorded in Area 2. A small number of probably contemporary pits, occupied one of the enclosure interiors. Gullies of likely medieval or post-medieval date were also investigated in Area 3. These defined a fragment of rectilinear enclosure system that overlay the Iron Age ditches here. Some or all of these remains may be associated with medieval settlement at Stone Hall to the southwest. Archaeological Areas 3 and 4 (though not Area 1) will be investigated during future quarry phases.
