Abstract:		 Two trenches were excavated in the proposed development. The results of the evaluation succeeded in uncovering several archaeological features, sealed beneath the topsoil. In Trench 1, two gullies and a post hole were identified at the north-east end of the trench. The fills of the features contained abraded Roman pottery, and it seems probable that these features were of Roman date. The trench also contained three very shallow linear features, running across the centre; these were presumed to be remnants of cultivation furrows, possibly of medieval date. A single sherd of medieval green-glazed pottery was recovered from above the furrows, within the topsoil. In Trench 2, the central cultivation furrow was seen to continue on into the trench at the north-western end, and at the south-eastern end, one of the two Roman gullies was identified again, cutting across the eastern corner of the trench. In the centre of the trench a subrectangular cut was identified, possibly a truncated pit. The deposits were sealed by a layer of dirty clay, containing large quantities of Roman tile, and sherds of Roman pottery. This in turn was sealed by a deposit of redeposited natural clay. The pit may have serves as a rubbish pit, and suggested probable settlement nearby. [Au(abr)]
