Abstract:		 This work confirmed and revealed more of the enclosure system that had been revealed by the first phase of work carried out on the site. In addition to the various phases of linear boundary features there were also a large number of discrete pit features. One of these pits had been used to dump (as opposed to placing or burrying) the partial remains of a human cheifly a leg, mixed in with the partial remains of a pig (mainly the jaw). Unfortunately the function of the remainder of the pit features was much less clear, although none of them appear to have had a structural use. The excavation demonstrated the presence of a resonable concentration of archaeological deposits within the development area. Furthermore, this work appeared to indicate that the ancient use of the site was primarily Roman in date, and agricultural hinterland in function, the site being dominated by linear ditches appearing to define a series of enclosures. The dearth of finds from this site, as well as the natural infill nature of the features following their disuse, meant that it was unlikely that this site was particularly close to any settlement. Fairly strong archaeological evdence indicates that the focus for the Roman settlement of Willingham was at an area just to the north of the current village centre. The evidence presented by this study site would indicate that it was on the periphery of this activity.
