Abstract:		 The evaluation was the first in a series and consisted of six trenches located on a gravel bank to the east of a reservoir area by River Wantz. Trench 3 was placed on the edge of the lower ground within the reservoir. This identified alluvial deposits overlain by a sequence of sands and gravel interleaved with clay lenses. These represent a combination of bank erosion and alluvial episodes. Archaeological features were centred on Trench 2, which identified two partially revealed features dated to the Middle Iron Age. These may have represented ditch termini or parts of 'structures' perhaps associated with industrial activity and that produced a significant quantity of burnt clay. Trenches 2,5, and 6 revealed ditches aligned east-west dated to the 1st-2nd centuries AD, possibly part of a more extensive and coherent Roman rectilinear field system or enclosure. A ditch identified in Trench 7, also dated to the Roman period, was parallel to the extant gravel bank providing a possible boundary between the gravel terrace and the wetlands. [Au(abr)]
