Abstract:		 Despite the records of flint scatters within and around this proposed development site, no evidence for prehistoric, or indeed later, activity was found. This may indicate a true absence of anthropogenic activity in the area or, perhaps more likely, reflect the level of agricultural or other disturbance to the site, which has removed any former archaeological deposits. Apart from a post-medieval land drain containing English industrial china in trench 1, no archaeological deposits, features or artefacts were encountered within the evaluation trenches. This lack of archaeological activity was matched by the dearth of artefacts recovered from the topsoil. Trench 2 confirmed that the southern part of the site had been reduced and a layer of gravel laid to form an area for parking. The presence of ruts within trench 3 shows that the central area of the site had been disturbed to a depth of at least 0.25m by the wheels of vehicles dumping or picking up vegetation from the extant heap. It nevertheless remains possible that isolated archaeological features may survive in areas between the evaluation trenches. [Au(adp)]
