Abstract:		 The investigation produced evidence for settlement commencing in the Early Iron Age and continuing through to the Early or Middle Saxon period. The earliest activity appeared to be a limited zone of Early Iron Age occupation, this activity being masked by later phases extending into the early Roman period. By the later Iron Age formation of a hollow way necessitated the cutting of drains and the initial metalling of the surface, especially in the area of the junction with another ditched roadway. To the east was a Romano-British rectilinear enclosure. Within this a small cremation cemetery of the late 1st century AD had been established. At the far east end of the site a sunken-floored building with timber roof support was dated to the early Anglo-Saxon period. Later Anglo-Saxon activity was absent but in the early medieval period a small settlement was established immediately west of, and overlying, the silted hollow way junction. This was delimited by slight ditches on the south-east and the south-west, with further sections of ditch continuing north-west off the site. [Au(abr)]
