Abstract:		 Archaeological investigations undertaken in Cedar's Field examined the area covered by a known medieval moated enclosure which was partially excavated in 1980 in advance of the proposed construction of a new warehouse facility at the ICI Paint Works. The 1999 excavation identified eight phases of human activity dating from the prehistoric to the post-medieval periods. The earliest phases consisted of dispersed Neolithic pits and other features. There was some evidence for a Roman presence in the form of abraded pottery. However, the main phase of occupation belonged to the early to high medieval period, when the site was used for the construction of a moated complex. It was possible to chart the infilling and clearance in several phases of the surrounding ditches. Artefactual evidence indicated abandonment at some point after the 14th century, perhaps with the final infilling of the exposed and weathered ditches in the 18th or 19th century. [Au]
