Abstract:		 Evaluation trenchingproduced evidence of Roman, Late Saxon, medieval and post-medieval archaeology in eight of nine trenches. The remains were not extensive or representative of dense occupation. Roman remains were two ditches, several pits and postholes. The evidence of Late Saxon occupation was confined to a single deep, steep sided pit (well) which was dug through the colluvium, a layer which sealed the earlier Roman archaeology. The medieval and post-medieval archaeological remains included a large field boundary ditch and disturbed ridge and furrow. The ground surface of the entire site was uneven and pitted, the result of periods of Roman and post-medieval quarrying, dumping of building stone and infilling of a pond. Artefactual recovery was poor, suggesting that the archaeology was outside the Roman development of Castor, similarly the absence of substantial Saxon and medieval artefacts confirmed that the site had primarily been used for agriculture since the Roman period.
