Abstract:		 A planning application was submitted for the extraction of sand and gravel at this site. The evaluation area fell within a prehistoric ritual landscape of national significance, although it appeared that there was no conservation designation. A total of 46 trial trenches were opened, as well as a programme of fieldwalking and geophysical survey of selected areas of the site. It was concluded that two principal zones of archaeological potential were identified within the evaluation area. These displayed early prehistoric activity, as well as marginal activity during the late Iron Age/Romano-British period. [AIP]
