Abstract:		 An assessment of aerial photographs was undertaken by Air Photo Services (Cambridge) of an area of some 13 hectares (centred TL358733) in order to identify and accurately map archaeological, recent and natural features. Within and south of the Development Area is a scatter of rectangular pits that probably indicate sunken floor buildings (SFBs) of Saxon date. On the south-east side of this scatter is half an arc of a ring ditch of probable bronze age date. The SFBs and the ring ditch are located on a area of slightly higher ground, possibly also of a more gravely nature than the surrounding clay-based bedrock. East of the Development Area is a ditched enclosure of squareish shape within which are pits that may be contemporary with the enclosure. These features may be of iron age and/or Roman date and attest to recurrent use of this locally high ground. Slight suggestions of ridge and furrow remaining from medieval cultivation occur in one modern field. Hand-dug quarries occur in the area of the SFBs and overlap with some of them. They are thought to be of shallower depth, allowing survival of the lower levels of the SFBs. Lengths of former field boundaries have been identified and mapped.
