Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of foundation trenches at the site of a residential development, where a previous evaluation and an excavation had been carried out. Prehistoric features had included a Bronze Age ring ditch, a Late Bronze Age water-hole and an Iron Age gully, whilst artefacts had included a barbed and tanged arrowhead, a Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowhead and other flints of Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age date. Roman pits and gullies had been recorded, and residual Roman artefacts had been recovered from later features. The majority of the features recorded were of Saxon and Saxo-Norman date, and included ditches, gullies and pits. A small number of 11th-15th century ditches, gullies and pits had also been revealed, and post-medieval features had been found. Features recorded during the watching brief itself included ditches of various dates and a small number of pits. It was concluded that the site had shown evidence for activity from the prehistoric period through to post-medieval times, with an emphasis on the late Saxon period. [AIP]
