Abstract:		 The archaeological work was designed evaluate the archaeological potential of the ground and to record any World War II military remains in the western most part of the extraction area. The evaluation area had been heavily developed as arable land. This was bore out by the quantity of shallow linear features and ploughmarks over almost the entire site. However, the central part of the site showed signs of having been redeveloped in recent times as shown by the presence of additional features and disturbance due to the placement of farm tracks, drainage and services. No anthropic material was recovered from anywhere on site and the lack of any significant archaeology suggests that there is no value in further archaeological work within the proposed extraction area. Archaeological recording work was carried out a ditch in the western most part of the site. This feature had been heavily disturbed by trees but it was still possible to record a profile in two places and the line of the ditch as far as possible within the proposed extraction area. No material culture was recovered relating to the placement or use of the ditch. However the size and location of the ditch suggests that is was not a part of the World War II anti-tank defences.
