Abstract:		 Five trial trenches were excavated across the site in order to fulfill a condition upon planning permission for the construction of six dwellings. The earliest evidence for human activity was suggested by a flint flake in the investigation area and Bronze Age finds from the vicinity recorded in the SMR. One substantial Roman ditch was located within the investigation area and it contained a large assemblage of Roman occupation debris. Significantly the presence of roofing tile, brick and flue tile suggested the presence of at least one substantial building, possibly a villa, in the immdediate vicinity. Westwick Row may have originated from the possible manor site 150m south east of Handpost Lodge however no evidence for medieval activity was located. [Au(adp)]
