Abstract:		 The contour survey and excavation followed a desk based assessment of the site and subsequent trial trench evaluation. Six trenches revealed a small assemblage of worked flint, including material of Mesolithic and Bronze Age date, although no prehistoric features were certainly identified. Ditches on the north-west of the site could have represented medieval field boundaries. Finds included 12-13th century pottery. In perhaps the 17th or 18th centuries a water meadow system was introduced representing the eastern limit of the extensive Druce Farm field system. There was also evidence for sluices, two Y-shaped ditches and a 'tail drain'. An earthwork enclosure on the higher ground of the site was a post-medieval creation, possibly a house platform.
