Abstract:		 The archaeological investigations revealed at least three phases of past human activity. Although the Late Iron Age period was only represented by a single pit, the quantity of contemporary pottery within later features suggested activity had been more extensive. Early Roman remains were revealed in the form of two ditches, one of these contained significant quantities of Roman building material, including brick, roof and flue tiles. This suggested the construction of a substantial building in the vicinity and the recovery of flue tile indicated a possible under-floor heating system. The Later Roman period was represented by four post pads in an approximate alignment, probably the foundations of a timber building. The presence of pottery and general building debris was often used by archaeologists to classify sites as Romanised farms and the development area was situated in the vicinity of several Roman villages.
