Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during groundworks at the site of a residential development, which had formerly been occupied by a holiday centre. Two Bronze Age metalwork hoards had been found within 1km of the site, although the provenance of one was uncertain, and Roman pottery had been recovered in the area. A later medieval village had existed at Middleton. The watching brief was commenced by Pre-Construct Archaeology staff, but for logistical reasons was continued shortly afterwards by Southern Archaeology. The only structures or layers noted were related to recent use of the site, and included the destruction debris of buildings, large fuel tanks, old drains and soakaways and areas of contaminated soil. Five flint waste flakes were recovered from soils which had been imported from elsewhere during the earlier construction of tennis courts. A small fragment of abraded prehistoric pottery and a fragment of fired flint were also found. It was concluded that recent usage of the site had taken a heavy toll on any potential archaeological deposits. [AIP]
