Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief at the Bude / Stratton Business Park held in advance of the construction of a haul road, and building for a builders merchant. did not lead to the discovery of any major archaeological features. It did, however, reveal at least two phases of prehistoric activity within the area. Examination of the majority of the flints, which were found in within a possible old land surface layer (4) and as unstratified finds (Anna Lawson-Jones) indicated background activity within the area examined belonging to the Late Neolithic / Early Bronze Age period. Given the similarity of the assemblage with the flintwork from the previous archaeological recording, it is possibly a continuation of the occupation activity that was recorded within the field to the east (Thorpe 2015). In addition, the remnant old land surface, context (4) (and the unstratified assemblage) contained some flints, which are likely to be fully Bronze Age in date. This material was incredibly fresh in nature indicating a near complete lack of post-depositional disturbance. This is of significance, as a sherd of Bronze Age Trevisker ware was also recovered from this field by Wessex Archaeology. It is therefore very possible that further evidence for Bronze Age activity lies elsewhere within this field. It was therefore recommended that additional archaeological recording takes place as the site expands.
