Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Following an evaluation in August 2003 by Compass Archaeology (see OASIS 4084), a two phase programme of recording ahead of construction was proposed by English Heritage, this took the form of trench excavation in specific areas (19th to 28th January 2004) followed by a watching brief in February and March 2004. The evaluation had established that there were archaeological remains within the southeastern part of the site, including Mesolithic to Bronze Age struck flint and two possible prehistoric ditches. The further excavation phase exposed two substantial ditches of late Iron Age to Roman date; these ran approximately east-west and northeast-southwest and were traced for over 40m. The ditches evidently formed boundary and/or drainage features within an agricultural landscape, although the absence of other features and the dearth of artefacts both indicate that there was no nearby occupation. The radiocarbon dating for the large southern ditch (100 BC to AD 70) supports the idea of continuous agricultural activity from the later prehistoric to Roman periods, as previously suggested from excavations on the site of the Villa. A small assemblage of residual struck flint (only broadly datable to the Mesolithic or Bronze Age) was also recovered and this group is comparable with others recorded in the area.
