Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological trial trenching was carried out in advance of proposed residential development. The excavations targeted a series of geohysical anomalies suggesting enclosure ditches across much of the area. Many of the less pronounced anomalies appeared to be of agricultural origin, or responses to complex geology. However, two areas containing ditches and gullies of probable late Iron Age/early Roman date were identified in the north-east and south-west corners, some of which were not apparent in the geophysical data. One feature to the north of the site contained Anglo-Saxon pottery. In the south-west corner many of these features lay beneath varying depths of colluviums including a ring ditch containing late Iron Age/very early Roman pottery. Besides these two areas, archaeological features were also identified along the west edge of the field and in the north-west of the site. The small field in the south-east corner appeared to have been previously disturbed with undulating topography and significant depths of deposits. The trenches here contained up to 2m of colluvial material and an undated burnt oval feature of unknown function was recorded in one trench. Several anomalies on the geophysical survey suggest that there may be several more of these features in this area.
