Abstract:		 Two main focus areas were evident on the site. An area of late Iron Age activity was seen in the south-east corner of site (in Trenches 11, 12 and 14-16). Here a large boundary ditch was seen to enclose a number of smaller ditches and pits. The probable drip gully from three roundhouses with associated postholes was also identified within this area along with a potential oven. A fragment of pewter was recovered from a pit in Trench 11 and a copper alloy brooch was retrieved from a pit in Trench 12. The most extensive area of activity was seen running just below the crest of the hill, mid way across the site. Several substantial ditches containing late Iron Age and early Roman pottery were identified in Trench 58. The most dense areas of archaeology were south and west of here, implying that the features in Trench 58 are potentially the settlements boundaries. A number of smaller enclosure ditches with associated pits and ovens can be seen across Trenches 61-64 and 72-75. Three roundhouses have also been revealed in trenches just off the crest of the hill on site (Trenches 71 and 94). Features dating from the Medieval period dominated the trenches along the crest of the hill. An extensive area of cobbling was uncovered on the south-west side of site in Trench 81. A very large amount of unabraded medieval pottery was retrieved from this cobbled surface, implying the potential for some sort of courtyard activity. A further medieval cobbled surface with a ditch bounded up to it was seen in Trench 61.
