Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of mineral extraction. The work involved field survey and the excavation of 21 trial trenches. The evaluation identified a spread of archaeological evidence across the site. The fieldwalking and metal detector survey failed to identify any artefact spreads indicative of archaeological areas of activity though trial trenching identified concentrations of activity in the central and south-western areas of the eastern field. Dating evidence from the very limited pottery assemblage suggested an Iron Age date for the cluster of features in this area. The nature of the features (pits, ditches and a post hole) may have suggested the presence of a settlement with associated agricultural activity. A pit and ditch were recorded at the western extent of the west field which may also have suggested an area of settlement. The presence of a single Bronze Age pottery sherd within the pit and ditch provided possible, though tenuous, evidence for Bronze Age activity in this area. Although no dating evidence was forthcoming, pits containing charcoal-rich primary fills recorded within Trenches 14, 17 and 20 were of interest. The true function of these pits could not be ascertained at present, although possible interpretations were that they served as pit ovens or for charcoal manufacture. [Au(adp)]
