Abstract:		 An archaeological desk-based assessment and field evaluation was undertaken to comply with a planning requirement in advance of proposed residential development. The desk-based assessment concluded that the region had produced evidence of activity dating back to the Neolithic period, although the village of Hilton was probably not occupied on a permanent basis until the late Anglo-Saxon period. The village had expanded from its medieval core some 200m south of the proposed development, but still remained small and rural in character. Probable Romano-British and Iron Age cropmark sites were now also being recognised from the area around Hilton. The field evaluation revealed extensive archaeological features to be present across the site, dating principally from the later Roman period, though a number of features containing late Saxon/early medieval ceramics were also recorded. The findings of late Roman occupation so close to the core of the later village was of significance for the continuity of occupation in the area, especially in tandem with evidence of early medieval occupation.
