Abstract:		 Deposits of some archaeological significance were located within a machine excavated foundation trench. These were concentrated at the northern end of the site and consisted of four parallel ditches of probable Roman date. These were found to run parallel to each other and may have indicated the presence of an important land boundary within the area. The multiplicity of the ditches was best interpreted as the re-cutting of the ditches over a period of a century or more, probably from the late 1st to early 3rd century AD. In the northeast corner of the site a very disturbed metalled surface was located which may have related to the most northerly and widest ditch. Its function was hard to define. To the south of the parallel ditches, two pits of possible Roman date were identified, one of which may have been a tree-throw hole. Overlying these was a build-up of medieval/post-medieval ploughsoils. [Au(adp)]
