Abstract:		 12 trial trenches were excavated as an evaluation of the site. The northern half of the study area was found to contain archaeological deposits, however, any in the southern half were likely to have been destroyed by the construction of an embankment around a former gravel quarry now filled by Somerford Lagoon. Two trenches produced evidence of Romano-British activity in the form of shallow pits, gullies and ditches. The presence of roof tile fragments suggested the presence of a Romano-British building, possibly of some status, either within or in the vicinity of the site. Archaeological features were also identified in four other trenches and, although none produced any dateable artefacts, it was possible that they were also of Romano-British date. Two possible palaeochannels and two post-medieval ditches were also found. It was clear from previous archaeological work that the study area lay within a landscape extensively utilised for settlement and agriculture during the Iron Age and Romano-British periods. The identification of further archaeological remains from within the study area had the potential to significantly add to the understanding of these settlement patterns and land use. [Au(abr)]
