Abstract:		 <summary>An archaeological evaluation of this site was carried out following a planning application for gravel extraction. A series of trial-trenches were mechanically excavated and then hand-cleaned. A sample of the archaeological features was then chosen for further investigation. A metal-detector survey was also carried out across the site. Two main periods of activity were identified on the site. The earlier phase was represented by a number of small Early Bronze Age pits and possible post holes containing Beaker pottery. The second phase of activity was in the Early Saxon period; in particular, a sunken-featured building of two-post type was identified and partly excavated. A moderate quantity of Early Anglo-Saxon pottery was recovered from these features. The metal-detector survey confirmed the Early Saxon presence by locating part of a 6th century small-long brooch and a belt-fitting. {italon}Sec(17c){italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} BEL024
