Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Barrett Homes, Exeter, to undertake an archaeological field evaluation on land off Lyde Road, Yeovil, Somerset centred on NGR 357624 117623. The fieldwork was undertaken subsequent to an earlier desk-based assessment and geophysical survey which produced evidence of probable Romano-British activity. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of nine trenches, (eight 30m trenches and one 40m trench) equating to a 3% sample (by area) of the Site. Two of the trenches (Trenches 1 and 5) were targeted on anomalies identified from the geophysical survey results, with the remaining trenches positioned in 'blank' areas. Overall, the results of the trenches correlated well with the geophysical survey. Other than a single pit containing charcoal and Iron Age pottery in Trench 1 and a possible Iron Age buried soil horizon in Trench 9, the principal features recorded were of Romano-British date. These included two broad east-west aligned ditches located on the higher ground to the north-west of the Site in Trench 1. Evidence of post-medieval field boundaries and drains was recorded in Trench 5. All the recorded archaeological features, were sealed by subsoil and were generally cut from depths of c. 0.30 - 0.40m from the present ground surface. Most features were filled with characteristically grey brown silty clay derived from the local soils. The evaluation has demonstrated that the main focus of activity is centred on the high ground in the north-west area of the Site. A further area of activity, albeit at a much lower level, was identified at the south-east end of the Site, in an area of steeply sloping ground. The evaluation was undertaken between 6th and 10th of April 2009.
