Abstract:		 A watching brief and salvage recording was undertaken on a site at Leylandii House Farm, Norton and Lenchwick, on behalf of Alfred McAlpine Construction Ltd. during topsoil stripping of a development site. Aerial photography had identified a number of archaeological features to the south and east in the form of cropmarks, and it was felt that there was potential for these cropmarks to extend into the development area. During the course of the topsoil stripping extensive archaeological deposits relating to a previously unknown Romano-British settlement were revealed. The deposits extended over a considerable area of the site, some distance from, and apparently unassociated with, the known cropmarks. The settlement appears to have been unenclosed and included at least three round houses, a further structure (possibly a small animal shelter or foodstore), two corn driers and numerous ditches and gullies. Pottery consistent with domestic activity, a trumpet type copper alloy brooch, brick fragments, roof tile, and two spindle whorls were recovered. Dating evidence suggested that occupation was in the range of early 2nd-mid 3rd century. The site is believed to represent a farmstead or perhaps part of a slightly larger rural settlement. Following recording, the area where these deposits were concentrated was carefully reburied in close cooperation with the developers, and has now been effectively preserved within the development area. The site will eventually be returned to agricultural use.[AIP]
