Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to carry out an archaeological evaluation in advance of the redevelopment of land off Humber Lane, Telford, Shropshire, hereafter 'the Site'. The Site comprises a triangular parcel of agricultural land of c. 30 hectares (ha), and is located 6.5 km to the north of the centre of Telford. A total of three evaluation trenches (Trenches 1, 2 and 3) were excavated within the works. All three of these trenches contained archaeological features. The evaluation confirmed initial results from the geophysical survey of the site as to the presence of seemingly linear features within this area of the site. These probable linear features were ditches which were most probably associated with previous field systems. Four of these ditches contained sherds of Romano-British pottery within their fills and the strong likelihood is that these features all date from that period. Two of these ditches were aligned west/northwest-east/southeast and two were aligned north/northeast-south/southwest. It seems likely that these opposing aligned features are related to the same field system. It is uncertain how many (if any) of the other ditches discovered within the works are also of a Romano-British date, though it is noticeable that these ditches all share the prevalent west/northwest-east/southeast and opposing north/northeast-south/southwest alignments with those from the Romano-British period. On the whole, it would seem probable that these undated ditches are also of Romano-British date. Only two discrete features were recorded within the works. These features could suggest that potential structures, fence-lines etc. also exist within the Site boundaries. Due to the limited nature of the trenching no estimate could be made for any possible relationships between these and any other features and their dating and functions are uncertain. It is probable that the Romano-British features are associated with a nearby settlement.
