Abstract:		 A field evaluation was undertaken on the proposed cemetery site. Geophysical scanning identified a large area of disturbance associated with quarrying. A total of 14 trenches and two smaller test pits were excavated to try to identify a continuation of the Iron Age/Romano-British settlement reported during sand quarrying in 1939. The evaluation identified recent quarrying extending from the paddock into the arable field, with few traces of archaeological activity. Within the paddock, unaffected by quarrying, a series of furrow associated with medieval strip cultivation were identified. A small quantity of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery including a rim sherd were recovered from the subsoil, though no associated features were identified. Deposits filling a dry valley in the chalk also contained a small quantity of redeposited Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery. Small quantities of flint artefacts were recovered mainly from ploughsoil and the subsoil. [Au(abr)]
