Abstract:		 The evaluation was carried out using a series of eight regularly spaced trial trenches with total length of 220 metres. These revealed some evidence for past activity with a series of ditches containing Roman period pottery sherds in addition to unstratified sherds and tile fragments of the same date. Most of these ditches were located in the southern part of the evaluation area. Four of them were parallel to each other and very close together which may have indicated that they were evidence for the narrow strips that were recorded on an early (16th century) map of the area which depicted an open field system divided into such strips. The Roman period pottery and tiles may therefore have been residual in later ditches that were excavated to demarcate open field strips. However, these finds did confirm the recorded evidence for a substantial Roman site on the western side of Elmswell village. [Au]
