Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. Earthworks in the north-western part of the site had been designated as a moat on the 1984 Ordnance Survey map of the area, and several archaeological sites had been recorded in the vicinity. These included a medieval manorial settlement, a possible cropmarked enclosure, a former coal mine and early modern agricultural activity. Bronze Age, Iron Age and Romano-British activity had been recorded in the surrounding area. During the evaluation, features of an uncertain nature which contained Early Bronze Age flint tools and pottery were revealed. Small fragments of cremated bone and charcoal, and the absence of domestic waste, suggested that the material may have related to ritual or funerary activity. Trenches excavated in the area of the earthworks revealed a cobbled trackway, which was probably used until as late as the 17th century, as well as shallow ditches and an undated drain. The quantity of pottery recovered was lower than would be expected in an area of former occupation. Elsewhere within the site, a building dating from the late 12th and early 13th centuries was recorded. A bank representing a former field boundary, and features which resembled ridge and furrow but which may have been associated with seasonally flooded water meadows, were also revealed. [AIP]
