Abstract:		 Sixteen trial trenches were opened in the proposed area of development. Seven of the trenches targeted possible areas of archaeology indicated by geophysical survey. Two foci of archaeology were identified in the north and the south of the area. They comprised negative features such as ditches and pits dating from the Late Iron Age to the Romano-British periods. Features in the southernmost focus were particularly well preserved and relatively undisturbed by later activity. In the northern area archaeological features were less well defined, and appeared to have been more truncated by later activity. Immediately south of the northern focus, a large boundary ditch was discovered that was believed to date to at least the Early to Middle Iron Age. The type of activity represented by the evidence was that of a low status domestic settlement, probably farmsteads. [Au(abr]
