Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation on land previously occupied by engineering works was undertaken. The evaluation was designed to examine the disturbance to underlying archaeological remains caused by the construction of industrial buildings in the 1960s, to determine the extent of surviving archaeological remains and the general squence and periods of activity, to determine the line of the town ditch suggested by earlier work in Swaveny. Trenches in the northern part of the site (on a well drained gravel island) revealed a considerable quantity of archaeological features dating to the Late Iron Age, late Saxon, Saxo-Norman and medieval features. The trench close to the High Street revealed a recut ditch along the street front which corresponded to a drain shown on early 19th century maps. The ditch was identified as possibly being the line of the medieval town ditch. [Au(adp)]
