Abstract:		 Excavation of the site revealed evidence of a small-scale settlement, perhaps an isolated farmstead, in the vicinity of the medieval village of Humberstone, originally discovered in a 2003 evaluation. The features were badly truncated and lay beneath ridge and furrow remains. Ceramic evidence suggested a 12th or 13th century date for the settlement. To the west a single pit was found containing Iron Age pottery that could have been associated with the occupation at Elms Farm to the north-east. [Au(adp)]
