Abstract:		 An evaluation by trial trenching was carried out on the site of a proposed new community centre. Six trenches (total area 216 sq m) were excavated, representing approximately 4% of the area most affected by the proposed development. The natural stratum was sand and gravel (of glaciofluvial or river terrace origin) with a slight downward slope from west to east. It was overlaid by generally thin and discontinuous subsoil deposits of loose sand and gravel. Two undated linear features were recorded in the north-western part of the site, cutting the natural sand and sealed by a subsoil deposit. One was irregular in plan and profile and was not obviously man-made. The other was more regular in shape with a ditch-like profile. The fills of both features were similar to the overlying subsoil and neither of them produced any finds. It is unclear therefore whether these features were of natural or man-made origin. A residual worked flint of Mesolithic or Neolithic date was found in an overlying soil horizon and provides the only clear evidence for prehistoric activity in the vicinity of the site. Subsoil deposits were overlaid by worked soil horizons and a buried topsoil layer. This was sealed by levelling dumps of clay, sand and soil that were spread over the lower-lying areas of the site when the grammar school playing field was created.
