Abstract:		 Excavation was undertaken on two areas (3750 and 1100 sq. m) on land prior to the construction of a new supermarket. The first phase of activity identified took the form of a series of narrow ditches and postholes on north-south and east-west alignments. These early fenced enclosures were superseded by larger, more complex, ditched enclosures, which may have been used for the keeping of livestock in phase 2. The paucity of artefactual evidence from the first two phases of the enclosure system did not allow for an accurate date but residual Roman pottery and Niedermendig lava quern suggested an early or middle Saxon date. The third phase took the form of a large ditch of medieval date, which contained a decorated bone comb handle of the 14th century. The function of the ditch was not readily apparent due to its location at the edge of the site. [Au(abr)]
