Abstract:		 An evaluation was carried out at a site proposed for gravel extraction and the creation of an irrigation lake. A Palaeolithic handaxe and a Neolithic axe had been found within 1km of the site, and Bronze Age barrows lay in the surrounding area. An Iron Age and Roman settlement had been investigated nearby, and the line of Vermuden's Drain, a 17th century feature designated a 'stop line' during the Second World War, passed to the north. A series of blockhouses survived along its bank. During the evaluation, all of the excavated trenches were found to contain parallel sub-rectangular pits typical of 'claying', an agricultural technique employed during the 19th and 20th centuries. The process of claying had destroyed the original stratigraphic sequence across much of the site. A flint core and flake, probably of Neolithic or Bronze Age date, were recovered, but no further archaeological features were observed. [AIP]
