Abstract:		 The evaluation confirmed the presence of generally well-preserved prehistoric, Romano-British and early post-medieval deposits in all trenches. The prehistoric evidence comprised a probable ditch and a buried former land surface present in all trenches. The Romano-British evidence was more extensive and perhaps more significant. The most important discovery on the site were the remains of a wall and associated deposits and artefacts from all trenches. All this evidence suggested that the joining walls perhaps represented a room or outbuilding within or attached to a much larger structure, the walls of which were built of limestone blocks, interspersed with flint nodules, and the roofing material comprising some ceramic tiles and limestone slabs. There was evidence for a tessellated pavement in at least one room of the structure, and a probable domestic well towards the rear of the property. The pottery evidence derived from the site indicated activity on the site throughout the Roman period, and the status of the site was perhaps raised by the presence of imported pottery, and more significantly, painted glass vessel fragments. The early post-medieval material comprised cess and midden deposits. [Au(abr)]
