Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken in advance of preliminary road infrastructure work and was preceded by an archaeological evaluation which detected buried prehistoric and Romano-British remains. Further prehistoric activity in the form of an adult human cremation and various shallow, negative features containing Early Bronze Age pottery were excavated. An extended period of late Romano-British activity dating to the 3rd and 4th centuries AD was indicated by truncated enclosure ditches and other features which related to two probable earthfast timber structures. These appeared to be ancillary structures rather than dwellings, but finds recovered, and evidence from the evaluation indicated the presence of the focus of a Romano-British rural farming settlement of considerable status close by. Evidence of limited medieval activity was also found. [Au(abr)]
