Abstract:		 Seven areas were excavated as part of the mitigation works. Bronze Age activity was located in Area 4, where two post holes were identified. These were dated to the Bronze Age by the presence of two sherds of Bronze Age pottery and one radiocarbon sample. An Iron Age post structure was also dated using radiocarbon dating. With such a small number of post holes it has prove difficult to interpret either of these structures. Roman activity was identified in Area 6 where a complex of parallel ditches and possible associated furrows from farming were located. The numerous parallel ditches formed a boundary dividing up the land and this boundary appeared to have been maintained for some time, possibly from the first to third or fourth century AD. A number of post-medieval farm trackways were identified in Area 7. These were focused on the site of the former Sharpe House Farm. A possible small pond in Area 1 may also have been post-medieval in date. [Au(abr)]
