Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was conducted by NAU Archaeology on behalf of Persimmons Homes and William Young's and Son Farms Ltd in February and March 2011 ahead of an application for planning permission to develop the site for residential purposes, community football pitches and a water treatment works. A desk-based assessment was undertaken in November 2010 which concluded that the site appears to lie within an area of high archaeological potential. A geophysical (magnetometer) survey of the site was conducted between December 2010 and January 2011 and revealed numerous linear anomalies, some of which formed a trackway and field divisions. Based on results obtained from the desk-based assessment and the geophysical results 101 trial trenches were excavated which targeted areas of known archaeological remains and geophysical features along with areas of unknown archaeological potential. Of those trenches that were excavated, seventy-three produced evidence of archaeological features and deposits. The earliest recorded find recovered during the evaluation was a Palaeolithic ovate Acheulian hand axe . Also recovered were sherds of Early Bronze Age and Late Iron Age pottery. Although, no archaeological features and deposits have been attributed to the Roman period, a number of artefacts indicate that Roman activity took place in the vicinity. The results suggest that a reshaping of the landscape occurred during the medieval and post-medieval periods. The majority of archaeological features were ditches, many of which were aligned north-south and east-west and which were most likely associated with land and field boundaries. Some ditches were on different alignments and these are probably features of a different date.
