Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Small amounts of Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery and flints were recovered, mostly as residual material in later features. Occupation of the site in the later Neolithic / earlier Bronze Age is suggested by a large pit containing Beaker pottery. Two un-urned cremation burials are undated, pending radiocarbon analysis. Intensive occupation of the site began in the middle Iron Age (500-300 BC) and was represented mainly by a probable roundhouse and two substantial ring-ditch features (one of which had a double ditch) that were possibly ritual/funerary monuments. The associated finds assemblage is mostly of a domestic nature and includes a significant amount of pottery. Subsequent phases of activity can be dated less precisely. The double-ring-ditch feature was bisected by a linear boundary ditch, representing a significant change of land use. Only small amounts of non-diagnostic prehistoric pottery were recovered from the ditch. The same ditch was cut by a large, irregular pit (possibly a reservoir) that had a complicated history of infilling and re-excavation. Pottery from all phases of infilling has been dated to the middle Iron Age but is likely to have been residual. Some of the pit fills were rich in charcoal and heated stones, on a scale that suggests some form of industrial process in the immediate vicinity. There was no evidence for Roman or medieval occupation of the site. Post-medieval activity was represented mainly by agricultural ditches. One of these marked the boundary between the parishes of Haverhill and Little Wratting.
