Abstract:		 Approximately 400 metres of evaluation trenches were opened by machine and later recorded by hand to investigate the surviving archaeology on the site. A previous desktop study and geophysical survey in 1995 had highlighted the possibility of survival of late late prehistoric and/or Romano-British archaeology. Three ditches were located, two coinciding with aerial photography marks in the south of the site, and one with a geophysical plot to the northwest. A further aerial photography cropmark proved to be a small pit which had once held a fire or kiln of unknown purpose. The unstratified articulated skeleton of a sheep was located adjacent to the southern ditch, outside the possible enclosure. No absolute dating material was recovered, but the broad dating appeared to be late prehistoric. The majority of the site had been used in historic periods for ridge and furrow cultivation, remnants of which were located during the evaluation. [Au(adp)]
