Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed residential redevelopment of the site. The site was situated on, or immediately next to, the projected line of Roman Akeman Street, and excavations in the immediate vicinity had produced evidence for significant Romano-British activity. The Late Iron Age hillfort of Arbury Camp lay 750m to the west, and sufficient evidence had come to light in the vicinity of the study area to indicate that settlement there had had its origins in the pre-Roman period. Evidence from the Saxon period was scant, whilst archaeological, historical and cartographic evidence combined to show that the area was farmland from the medieval period until modern times, when it was developed for housing. The field evaluation revealed the presence of ditches of Romano-British date, of similar date and character to those recorded during a recent evaluation at Neptune Close to the immediate south east. The current features related to the roadside occupation/agricultural use along the western side of Akeman Street, probably outside the area of the villa enclosure recorded to the east. No evidence of the metalling of the road itself was revealed, though a single, early phase ditch in Trench 2 was aligned with the presumed course of the road and contained mid 1st-early 2nd century material only. Most features (where dated) appeared to be of the 2nd-4th century. [Au(adp)]
