| Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken prior to the construction of a new sports centre. No finds or features of significant archaeological interest were observed in trenches 1, 4, 8 and 9. Two ditches (100 and 105) were revealed in trenches 2 and 6. The fill of ditch 105 suggested that it might have been of relatively recent date. The sequence of deposition in feature 100 could have been explained as initial silting of a field boundary ditch, followed by dumping of charred materials from scrub clearance, followed by levelling up for a new use. Three small pits or post holes were identified: 102 and 103 in trench 5, and 104 in trench 7. Feature 102 produced the only datable finds from any feature, a rim sherd of Late Iron Age or early Roman pottery, and a smaller sherd which may have been of the same period or of medieval date.
